What Can You Transfer?
1. You can transfer completed programs. A Block Transfer occurs when a group of courses, often in the form of a certificate or diploma, is recognized for transfer credit. Example: If you completed a three-year Business diploma at college, you will receive a block credit if you are transferring into a Business degree program at an institution with which Northern College has an agreement. You should be able to transfer directly into the second year or third year of a degree program depending on the agreement. 2. You can transfer individual courses. You may receive equivalency course credits or unassigned credits. When institutions grant unassigned credit (sometimes called level credit), it often means they don't offer a course similar to the one you took and therefore can't assign a course equivalency. Many Credential have room for "elective" courses (those you can choose freely or from a list) that can be used to build credits and fulfill certain requirements. If there's room, and if your unassigned credits are relevant to the program, you can often use them as "electives". Be sure to keep your course outlines. You will need these to show what was included in the courses you have taken. Bottom Line: Transfer is based on equivalency. If your courses match the content and standard of the program you are applying to, you will probably get transfer credit. But if the programs are totally unrelated, you may be unable to transfer any credits and will have to start from scratch. What Can't You Transfer? Some of the reasons you might not get transfer credit even if your courses are identified as equivalent: You took only one course where a two course combination was required.
