Transfer Credit Search
Use the search tool on this page to filter available programs to see which you may be eligible to apply to. This tool references a database of current equivalent course agreements from external institutions for U of A courses. Use the filters to narrow your search parameters.
Transferring to the U of A
Explore resources to prepare you to transfer to the U of A, including course requirements, transfer student scholarships, residence options and upcoming events.
Admission For Transfer Students
Admission to all undergraduate programs at the U of A is competitive and subject to availability of space. We recommend applying early for the best possible shot at admission.
Applications Open: October 1, 2024
Application Deadline: March 1, 2025
Document Deadline: June 15, 2025
Important Information
Please carefully review the following information to understand the uses and limitations of the transfer credit search tool.
- Courses listed are transferable to the University of Alberta. Whether or not the courses may transfer to your program will be determined by the faculty after you have been admitted.
- Transfer credit being granted to the University of Alberta is dependent on the grade you received, program requirements, and U of A residency requirements.
- Transfer credit cannot be fully evaluated until you have applied, been admitted to the program, and submitted all required documentation and transcripts.
- The database will be updated as new agreements are made and when existing agreements are updated. The transfer credit received in Bear Tracks will be final and may not reflect the information found in this database.
- This database does not include courses that are not accepted or have not been reviewed. Those courses would be reviewed if you have been admitted to the U of A. There is no capacity to review courses prior to application or being admitted.
- Historical agreements that are no longer active will not appear in this list. If you have taken these courses, you can still get transfer credit and you will be updated after you have been admitted.
For courses that also appear in Transfer Alberta, any discrepancies with this list are either being updated in both systems or are being investigated. Final decisions will be available when your transfer credit is posted.
Search for transfer credits
Use the search bar to find a particular course code or you can use the options on the left to refine your search:
- Step 1: Select if your course is from a Canadian or International institution.
- Step 2: Select which U of A campus you are interested in studying at.
- Step 3: Select the province or country where your previous institution is located.
- Step 4: Click the drop down arrow to the left of the province or country name to show the list of institutions. Make sure only the institutions you want to see are selected. The naming of the institution you are transferring from may not be exact due to database constraints.
- There could be specific notes about the agreement in the Course Comments section which can be found when you click on the agreement.
- Agreements may not lead to specific U of A courses (Ex. BIOL 107). You could see the following
- BIOL 1XX - this would be an unspecified agreement where you would receive credit for a 100-level Biology course.
- SCOPT 1XX - this would be an agreement where you would receive credit for a Science Option at the 100-level.
PLEASE NOTE: This database is not comprehensive; the information is for reference only. Transfer credit assessments are completed after your application for admission has been evaluated and only in the case where an admission offer has been granted. We are unable to assess courses in advance or via email.
