RESIDENCY REQUIRMENT At least 25% of courses in a certificate, diploma, advanced diploma, graduate certificate or degree program of study must be completed at DC through means other than credit transfer. Programs may have program-specific or course-specific requirements for credit transfer and letter of permission (LOP) eligibility. PART-TIME VS. FULL-TIME sTATUS Courses approved as equivalent and dropped from your timetable may impact your full-time enrolment status, which could impact your OSAP funding or eligibility for other student financial aid options. Dropping to part-time status may also impact access to other student benefits and services such as the U-Pass, medical coverage, and access to the Campus Recreation and Wellness Centre. You may add classes to your schedule to maintain a full-time status. Apply early to ensure you can add classes before the add/drop deadline each semester if you would like to maintain a full-time course load. FEES Applications for external Credit Transfer must be accompanied by a non-refundable $16/course evaluation fee. Please note: Any successful credit transfer applications will not result in a tuition-fee adjustment unless you are dropped to part-time status before day 10. Please consult with Financial Aid if you are in receipt of OSAP and have questions regarding the number of courses you can be exempt from without dropping to part-time status and how this could impact your funding. PROFESSIONAL AND PART-TIME LEARNING REQUESTS As a professional and part-time learning student, you may submit an application to transfer courses at any time.
