Overview of pathways available for Durham College Students
Secondary school transcripts are not required for admission consideration to formal Pathway Program. Visit each program page for specific admission requirements and transfer details:
General Transfer Policy
Your complete academic history is considered in our review of your application. This includes all secondary and post-secondary studies, and any courses currently in progress. You must declare all secondary and post-secondary institutions you’ve attended and you must submit transcripts from each institution. Secondary school transcripts aren’t required if you’re applying to one of our formal pathways.
Many of our programs and curricula are unique to TMU. This makes us a great choice! It also means that admission above level one is not always possible. You may, however, be eligible for transfer credit for individual courses from all levels of your TMU program (which can shorten the time needed to complete your degree).
Along with reviewing performance in your post-secondary studies, we’ll be assessing your academic background to ensure that you’ve achieved the minimum grades in all required subjects. Review the subject requirements on our program page.
The averages/grades required for admission are determined on the basis of competition each year. Unfortunately, possession of minimum averages and/or grades doesn’t guarantee admission.
Submit a special consideration form if there’s information you feel should be considered in our review of your application. This may include circumstances that affected your grades. Any/all information you provide on this form will be kept confidential.
If you’re admitted to an undergraduate degree program, you must complete at least one half (50%) of the program’s curriculum at TMU. This means that your prior studies can count for a maximum of 50% of your program’s requirements.
If your complete post-secondary diploma or degree is used to admit you to an upper level:
- Individual courses and associated transfer credits will not be recorded on your TMU transcript.
- Courses can’t be used to apply for additional transfer credit (unless otherwise stated in an Offer of Admission).
- The original grades in your courses will not be recorded on your TMU academic record.
- Grades in previous courses will not be used in the TMU GPA calculation.
