Applicants with previous postsecondary education will be assessed for transfer credit upon receipt of an official transcript from the previous institution.
Niagara College does not charge a fee for this service. Credits are considered on a course-by-course basis and will be granted where deemed equivalent in content and learning objectives to corresponding Niagara College courses. In some instances, detailed course outlines may be requested for evaluation.
Current and previous Niagara College students who wish to transfer credits from one Niagara College program to another should complete the online Transfer Credit Request Form, or contact Enrolment Services by phone at 905-736-6030 or email at [email protected].
