Transfer credits will be recorded on your University of Toronto-St. George transcript by listing the following information:
- Course code, title and weight
- Sending institution name and a description that states “Transfer Credit – Equivalent”
- Session (shown in cases where a student obtains transfer credit post-admission or on exchange while at the University of Toronto)
In cases where there is no exact course equivalent at the University of Toronto-St. George, an unspecified transfer credit will be included on the transcript, which will list the first three letters of the discipline code, followed by 1 (first year course), 2 (second year course), 3 (third year course), 4 (fourth year course) and ***. For example, ENG2*** means that the student obtained an unspecified second year transfer credit in English. In cases where courses can be used for breadth or other requirements a notation will also be shown on the transcript. Where a course is similar to our first year seminars a generic credit is awarded. For example, CCR (Creative and Cultural Representations) means that the student has a credit under the Breadth Requirement #1.
Transfer credits will not be included in GPA calculation, but are used in the total credit count.
