51³Ô¹ÏÍø

Advanced standing & transfer credit

Awarding advanced standing or transfer credit is how 51³Ô¹ÏÍørecognizes university-level coursework you have completed at another institution. In both cases, you may receive credit and/or exemptions from specific 51³Ô¹ÏÍøcourses, allowing you to progress more quickly towards the completion of your degree.

Pre-51³Ô¹ÏÍøTransfer Credit

New students may receive credit and exemptions for university-level courses completed before they began their 51³Ô¹ÏÍøstudies (e.g. CEGEP DEC, IB, AP Exams, university/college courses, etc.).

New Students

Study Away Transfer Credit

Students who plan to take courses at another university (while enrolled at McGill), must be on an approved Study Away and have their courses pre-approved in order to receive transfer credit.
