�Ӱ�ԭ��

Transfer students admitted to �Ӱ�ԭ�� University come from a variety of educational backgrounds and receive transfer credits on admission to a degree program. Transfer credits can affect things such as year standing and course registration choices. This means you may require registration assistance with course selection.

Quick Tips:

• Transferred courses do not have a grade associated with them, only a “TR” designation for transfer. They contribute to the “Program Credits Completed” but not to the calculation of the Overall or Major CGPAs.
•  may be evaluated as a generic credit (e.g. 1XXX) or as an exact equivalent to a �Ӱ�ԭ�� course (e.g. 1001). If you have questions about the transfer credits you were awarded, please contact Admissions Services at admissions@carleton.ca.
• If you have questions about how your transfer credits are counting toward your degree program, what courses to register in, or any other general questions about the program or university,  the Criminology office for advising. We strongly recommend that all students entering the criminology program with transfer credits seek advising prior to registration.
• A full-time course load at �Ӱ�ԭ�� is a maximum of 5.0 credits per year. This generally works out to 5 classes (2.5 credits) per semester. Many students choose to do 4 courses or fewer per semester instead. Please seek advising to discuss course sequencing for lighter course loads.
• �Ӱ�ԭ�� registration for the full academic year (both fall and winter) is completed at the same time so make sure that you select courses for both semesters when you register.
• College graduates may find the transition to large classes and a more rigorous academic approach challenging. Make use of the support services available at the University, such as the  and the  which offers learning and writing support services.
