Transfer Credit

A maximum of ★60 transfer credit completed outside the University of Alberta will be granted toward an undergraduate degree in the Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences. A minimum of ★60 of degree requirements must be completed at the University of Alberta, of which a minimum of ★30 must be completed while registered in the Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences.

Current students, including those interested in exchange programs and study abroad, must receive permission to take courses at another institution for credit to their degree program. A student is not eligible if they have already received the maximum allowable transfer credit (★60), or if they do not present satisfactory academic standing. There is no obligation to grant transfer credit unless prior permission has been obtained. Qualified students must contact ALES Student Services to obtain the necessary forms and approval before enrolling at another institution.
