How to Apply for Transfer Credits

Before you apply, visit torontomu.ca/transfer-credits for eligibility requirements, application instructions and deadline dates.

Transfer Credit Applications

Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) has two types of transfer credit applications:

  • Method 1 - Self-service application on MyServiceHub (my.torontomu.ca)
    • Use this method if your previously completed courses are from an accredited Canadian institution or you have completed Advanced secondary courses (e.g. A-Level, AP, IB, CAPE, CEGEP)
    • Please verify if this method is for you through this list of institutions/studies
    • This method is available to all current undergraduate students as well as prospective students who have successfully submitted an application for admission to TMU
  • Method 2 - Manual Application Upload (opens in new window) 
    • Use this method if your previously completed courses are from accredited institutions outside of Canada
    • Use this method for some accredited Canadian institutions that are not supported by Method 1
    • This method is available to all current undergraduate students as well as applicants who have accepted an offer of admission to TMU

Applying for transfer credits in advance of deadlines facilitates course planning and prevents you from enrolling in courses that may be eligible for exemption.

    Results are based on previous evaluation results contained within the Transfer Credit Database.

    No Rule applications require faculty assessment and a detailed course outline in order to determine equivalency. Course outlines can be submitted after your application has been processed and posted on your Transfer Credit Report.

    Denied applications mean there is no equivalent transfer credit in your program.

    Accepted, pending validation applications are unofficially equivalent to the transfer credits listed in the Internal Equivalent column.
