Program Transfer Search

You do not receive transfer credits. Instead, if you receive an offer of admission to one of the post-diploma programs, you will enter year 3 of the 4-year program. All admits must complete a series of transition courses (i.e. summer transition program) during the months of July and August prior to entering the third year. Lastly, if you are missing core courses, you will be asked to take “make up” courses from the first and second year of our engineering programs.

Bridging

In order to make the transition from technology to degree studies and from industry to university, the Faculty of Engineering provides a number of transition courses which are required by all students entering a post diploma engineering degree program at Lakehead University from other institutions. These courses are normally taken during the summer prior to the third year of the engineering degree. Exemption from these required courses may be given in instances where equivalent course work has been completed by the applicant.

Students are advised of their required transition courses as well as their timetable upon admission to the engineering degree program. To continue in their engineering program, students must register and maintain registration in all required transition courses.
