We recommend applying early for your desired start term, as transfer credit assessments can take up to 12 weeks or more.

Be sure to follow the Steps to Apply, and feel free to contact the Admissions Office with any questions before you submit your online application.

Minimum Admission Requirement for Transfer Students

CGPA of 2.0 or higher on minimum of 24 credit hours attempted at an accredited post-secondary institution. Students with fewer than 24 credit hours attempted are admitted through the secondary school admission pathway but are still eligible for transfer credit.

Applicants who do not meet the minimum admission requirement may be eligible to submit an admissions appeal to the Student Appeals Committee (SAC) for consideration.

Transfer Credit Policy

Courses completed at accredited post-secondary institutions will be evaluated for transfer credit. A minimum grade of C (or equivalent) is generally required; however, some courses may require a higher grade to qualify. Consult the course transfer database for more information.

Approved transfer credits will appear on your academic record with a grade of “P” and will not be included in the calculation of the Brandon University GPA. Grades obtained at the original institution will be recorded internally for prerequisite and degree audit purposes.

What is the Course Evaluation Process?

After you are admitted, the Admissions Office will contact you by email for a course syllabus for all courses potentially eligible for transfer credit that don’t have active equivalency in the course transfer database. You are responsible for obtaining syllabi from your previous institutions.

The Admissions Office is the liaison between you and the academic department which assesses your courses.

The Admissions Office will notify you by email of the transfer result once the assessment is complete.

You may request a review of transfer credit within six months of receiving the final transfer results email.

Submitting Course Outlines

Courses outlines must be as issued by your institution, and normally include the following:

• Name of institution
• Location and contact information for the institution
• Course code and title of the course
• Number of course contact/credit hours
• Session in which the course was taken
• Description of topics covered in the course
• Assigned textbook and/or readings
• Description of learning outcomes and evaluation criteria
• Grading scale

You can request course outlines from the course instructor, department, or Registrar’s Office at the institution where you completed the course.

Each course outline must be sent as a separate attachment in an email (PDF preferred). You can attach multiple outlines to one email.

Include both the course title and the course number in the filename for each attachment.
