Course Outlines (Syllabi)
After you have been admitted, Admissions will start assessing your previous post-secondary work for eligible transfer credit. You can request course outlines (or syllabi) from the Registrar's Office or the relevant academic department(s) at the institution(s) where you completed the course(s). A course outline (or syllabus) is a multi-page document that provides detailed information about a course, such as the items listed below. If you are coming from an institution that does not have course outlines, you may use this template.
- Name/Title of course and course number
- Credit Weighting for each course
- Length of the course (all year, half year, weeks, days)
- Pre-requisites required
- Number of hours the course met per week
- Textbook titles, along with author’s names and publisher
- Other assigned readings (journals, articles, etc)
- Evaluation methodology (how was the course graded? Grading Scale)
- Description and objectives of the course
- List of assignments, term tests, and final examinations.
In order for your course work to be considered for transfer credit, all documentation must be received by Admissions within four months of being admitted to The University of 丁香园AV. Documentation received after the four month period will not be evaluated and no credit will be granted.
