Transfer Credit

Transfer credit is the recognition of credit for courses completed at another recognized post-secondary institution or in another RRC Polytech program. Transfer credit may be granted when the course has equivalent learning outcomes, standards, hours, and content.

Apply for Transfer Credit as soon as possible once your admission deposit has been paid.

Full-time Programs – Fall start date, apply before August 1 (or one month prior for other start dates).
Continuing Education Programs – apply as soon as you register for a course.

Notes:

Late applications may affect drop/add deadlines.
All requests must be made before the midpoint of the course.
The course removal process will follow the College’s Refund Policies and Procedures including Policy A22 – Academic Standards.
The date of course removal will reflect the date you submitted your application.

Orientation Sessions

Extending Transfer Credit Currency (if applicable)

Transfer credit is awarded when your previous courses (completed within the last 5-years) at a recognized post-secondary institution align and are equivalent to the learning provided by RRC Polytech. An exception may be made to extend the 5-year currency requirement if individuals have maintained their learning through work experience, or continued completion of an academic program at a post-secondary institution. Extensions beyond 10 years will not be considered. If your courses are older than 10 years, please contact the RPL Advisor for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) options that may be available to you.

Contact the Transfer Credit Officer to learn more about eligibility for extending transfer credit currency and the validation requirements. In most cases, proof of employer verification of skills or evidence of continued use of learning in post-secondary education will be required. To proceed you will need to provide proof of current skills and knowledge related to the learning outcomes where credit is sought. Additional fees will apply.
