Step 1: Declare all previous university-level studies on your application for admission.

Step 5: Use the .

  • If the departmental program advisor has assessed that the transfer credit articulated on your Minerva transcript includes courses that can be used toward a 91ε program of study, you will need to have these courses assessed individually for course content using the Course Equivalency System.
  • Consult the Transfer Credit Policy.
  • If you have taken a French-as-a-Second-Language course, you will have to take a post-test at the French Language Centre.
