Advanced / Transfer Credit
Applicants who have successfully completed equivalent post-secondary courses may be eligible for advance credit in selected courses. Applicants who wish to receive advance credit must request a course assessment by a student advisor. To complete the assessment, the student advisor will require a:
- copy of official transcripts
- calendar description (or preferably a course outline) of the course(s) being assessed
For a course to qualify for advance credit, its length (in hours) and content must be equivalent to or more extensive than the course the applicant is seeking exemption for.
Note: Applicants granted advance credit in a course may jeopardize their opportunities for scholarships or an honours diploma. Some scholarships require 100% loading for eligibility.
To apply for advance credit, please bring documentation to H300 at NAIT Main Campus or fax to 780.491.3072. Please attach a memo briefly outlining your educational history, name and contact information, including phone number with area code. All documentation must be received before an assessment can begin.
