Step 1: Verify Course and Grade Requirements

In order for a course to be considered for transfer, it must meet the following conditions:

• Course must count for credit toward a degree at the host institution. Courses taken toward a certificate/diploma or courses taken through continuing studies will typically NOT be credited unless they count toward an undergraduate degree at that institution.
• Course must have a syllabus that includes, at a minimum, contact hours, course objectives, readings, and method of evaluation.

NOTE:听Students must verify that they have the required prerequisite for any course they intend to take at the host university. Students should not take a course at the host university if they do not have the required academic background to succeed in the course.

• Course must not overlap in content with a course for which credit has already been granted.听
• ALL听components of the method of evaluation of each course must be completed by the end of the term of study at the host university.
• Course must generate a听final grade听that can be recorded on the host university鈥檚 official transcript.

Grade required to receive transfer credit:

• The grade earned in the host university course(s) must be equal to or higher than the grade/CGPA required to graduate from the host university. Normally, this is equivalent to a grade of C or better according to the host university鈥檚 grading scheme. The policy applies to both elective and required courses.
• Courses for which you register abroad cannot be taken with the pass/fail option. No credits will be granted for courses with no grades.
• You will receive a grade from the host school which will transfer as credits on your 麻豆区 transcript, however, grades will not be calculated into your 麻豆区 GPA.

Courses that are NOT accepted for transfer credit toward your degree are:

• Continuing education courses applied only toward certificates and/or diploma programs at the host institution.
• Courses applied only toward certificates and/or diploma programs at the host institution.
• Language courses offered by Language Centers or Institutes not associated with a degree granting institution.
• Practicum ("How to") courses: e.g., dance, fashion designing, orientation, photography, sports, web designing, wine tasting, etc.
• Skills-improvement courses such as 鈥渁rt workshop鈥�,听鈥淲elcome Program鈥�, etc.
• Volunteer programs.

Step 2: Verify BCom Program Requirements

• No credits will be granted for online management courses. A maximum of 6 credits will be granted for online non-management electives only.
• You are permitted a maximum of 6 credits of topics courses to count towards the complementary section of any specialization. The maximum total includes courses taken at 麻豆区 and other institutions.
• Students intending to pursue the CPA program should be aware that accounting courses approved by the BCom office and taken away may not meet the requirements for the CPA program. It is your responsibility to verify course requirements with the specific order where you plan to complete your CPA.
• A minimum of two-thirds of all program requirements must normally be completed at 麻豆区. Therefore, a maximum of one-third of all program requirements may be completed at another university.听You are permitted the following maximum of number of credits from another institution:

Program	Required credits	Transfer credits allowed
Core	36	9
Major	30	12
Concentration	15	6
IB Concentration*	30	Up to 12
Minor	normally 18	6
Electives	varies	no limit

* The IB Concentration is the only exception where you may receive up to 12 麻豆区 credits for courses taken outside of 麻豆区.

Step 3: Assess your courses for equivalency

All courses taken outside of 麻豆区, including electives, must be actively equivalent in the听.

Search the database to determine if the course you want to take has already been approved. Note that an equivalency on the 麻豆区 Course Equivalency Database does NOT guarantee that you will receive transfer credit for this course. You need to ensure that the credit value for this course is sufficient, that you achieve a satisfactory grade and that you have been approved for a study away or an exchange.

麻豆区 Course Equivalency System

• When searching for a course equivalency, always include听expired decision.
• If a course is not on the Course Equivalency Database, submit a听new request.*听
• If it is expired, submit a听re-assessment.*

Please ensure course outlines to be reviewed contain the following detailed information: thorough description, breakdown of topics covered, method of evaluation and course materials, and credit weight and/or hours.

*Note that the course outline is reviewed by a Desautels professor. When receiving the email with the decision of the review, pay attention to the听麻豆区 Course Number as it may be different from what you submitted. Log in to the Course Equivalency System to see the details of the decision. The Comments section may have additional information.听

Step 4: Verify credit system of the host institution

Familiarize yourself with the credit system of the host institution. Depending on your host institution鈥檚 credit weight, in order to obtain 15 麻豆区 transfer credits, you may be required to register for as less as 3 courses to as much as 10 courses. When in doubt, inquire with the host about their credit weight in ECTS.

Consult with a BCom advisor before your registration starts at the host institution, in order to receive the right amount of credits that you need.听

Host credit system	Credit weight for one course	Equivalent to 15 credits at 麻豆区
Hours (to be used as a reference for Asia)	36-39 Lecture hours = 3 麻豆区 credits	180-195 Lecture hours = 15 麻豆区 credits
ECTS (European Community Transfer Credit)	Anywhere from 2, 5, or 6 ECTS	30 ECTS (24 ECTS = 12 麻豆区 credits)
UK credit points	15 credits (7.5 ECTS)	60 credit points
CATS (Credit Accumulation and Transfer Scheme)	10 or 20 CATS	60 CATS
Modular Credits (MC)	4MCs = 39 Lecture hours = 3 麻豆区 credits	20 MC
Australia & New Zealand	varies	24 points (4 courses)
Japan	2 to 5 credits	16-18 credits

Step 5: Report your courses on the Minerva Transfer Credit Assessment Form

The Minerva Transfer Credit Assessment Form attached to your Faculty Approved 麻豆区 Exchange application must also be completed in order to be eligible to receive transfer credit. Once your courses have been assessed on the 麻豆区鈥檚 Course Equivalency System, and you have registered at the host, access Minerva to begin the process of adding the course(s) you are taking at the host university. Notify the bcom.mgmt [at] mcgill.ca (subject: Transfer%20Credit%20Assessment%20Form%20submitted) (BCom Office by email) 补迟听bcom.mgmt [at] mcgill.ca听that a form has been completed.

Step 6. Transcript and Graduation

The preferred method is for the host university to directly email the Official Transcript to officialschooldocs [at] mcgill.ca

A Registrar's Hold may be placed on your record if your final official transcript is not received by the deadline you have been given. This hold will prevent you from making changes to your student record or ordering official transcripts on Minerva. Furthermore, you may be charged a fee for any changes that need to be made to your student record after government reporting deadlines have passed.

Students who are taking one or more courses at another university during their term of graduation MAY delay their graduation by one term. Please consult with a BCom advisor.听
