Transfer credits

Transfer credit is course work completed at another college or university that may count toward your Yukon University credential. A formal transfer credit request needs to be submitted to the Office of the Registrar with an official transcript from your previous institution. In some cases, course outlines may be required.

  • Courses 10 years old or less will be considered for transfer
  • Transfer credit will only be given to students who have been admitted to a program
  • Transfer credit will only be given for courses in which a minimum grade of ‘C’ or equivalent has been achieved
  • Transfer credits can only be used for a maximum of 50% of the required credits for a Yukon University credential.

Individual course transfer
