To be eligible, students need to be currently enrolled in the CCE program and submit a cover letter that maps out what you have completed, where and what course you would like the credit applied towards (i.e. Marketing 123 completed at University of Toronto, in place of MKT 819 Marketing), course outlines, and an official transcript with marks.
General Policy
- - Students must submit a course outline to ensure that the course content is at least 80% comparable to our Centre for Continuing Education course.
- - Only courses in which a minimum grade of C- has been achieved may be considered for a transfer of credit.
- - Courses must have been completed with the last 5 years to be considered.
- - There is a fee of $99 for each Transfer of Credit (TOC) (once approved by the Program Manager). The price is subject to change.
- - You may only apply external transfer of credit to one certificate or diploma program.
- Your McMaster transcript will NOT show the actual details of the TOC. Students will receive a letter from the Centre for Continuing Education confirming the TOC has been granted which students should keep for their own personal records. TOC is not viewable for students on Mosaic.
