Accepting Transfer Credits as a Continuing Education Student The Transfer Credit Office will process all approved transfer credits to your academic record within 2 – 3 business days from the day your application is approved. You will receive an email notification when your transfer credit is processed.
If you wish to stay registered in the approved course, please email the Transfer Credit Office at transfercredit@georgebrown.ca with your student ID and application details and state that you wish to stay registered in the course. WHAT TO DO IF YOUR APPLICATION IS DENIED? All students will receive an email notification when a decision is made. If your application is denied, you will also see the reason for denial in the email. Some of the common reasons to deny an application are: 1. Course Content not Equivalent :
This means, that after reviewing your application, it was determined that your incoming course content was not equivalent to the George Brown course you wish to receive an exemption for. 2. Minimum Grade not Met : The grade for your incoming course does not meet the minimum requirement for transfer credit. 3. Not Elective Content: The incoming course does not meet the general education elective criteria as per ministry standards. 4. Insufficient Documentation: The College did not receive enough information to evaluate your transfer credit request. See table below for a list of all common reasons for denial .
If you have any questions about your application decision, see the Academic Evaluator’s contact information in the decision email or contact your Academic Department for assistance. It is recommended to attach the course outline in the email that is sent to the department. Office of the Registrar Last Updated July 3 rd , 2024. Pages: 21 of 25
