A student will normally be granted credit for any course which has been completed with a minimum 60% standing at another
university. The total number of credits granted will be dependent upon the individual program requirements of each faculty.
A transfer student will be required to complete at least one full year (ten semester courses) or the equivalent at this University before qualifying for a degree. Refer to each faculty section for the appropriate residency requirements.
A student who has been required to withdraw from his/her previous institution will not be accepted to the University of Windsor during the period of his/her disbarment. If a student is eligible to apply to another faculty or program at his/her previous university, the student is eligible to apply to a similar program at the University of Windsor. In any case, should the student's record be such that he/she would have been required to withdraw at the University of Windsor, he/she shall not be eligible for transfer unless authorized by the appropriate Academic Standing Committee.
Students transferring from another university shall not be given credit for those courses in which they have received a grade lower than 60% unless authorized by the relevant Academic Standing Committee.
Candidates from Non-Canadian Universities
Candidates from degree programs offered by non-Canadian universities may request transfer credit. The amount of transfer credit will be decided by the Dean of the Faculty concerned.
