About Advanced Levels (and equivalent) transfer credit
Students entering a 不良研究所 program with Advanced Levels听or equivalent听examinations may be granted up to 30 transfer credits (equivalent to one year of study), thereby reducing the length of the degree program. The actual amount of credit granted is based on A-Level subject selection, final results, and the entering program at 不良研究所. See the table听below to view the amount of credit you might expect to receive.
Advanced standing and exemption is normally granted for the following results for subjects that qualify:
- Advanced Level (AL) and/or Advanced Subsidiary (AS): 'C' or better;
- CIE Pre-U Principal Subject:'M3' or better;
- CXC CAPE: 'III' or better.
Note: For听the Desautels Faculty of Management (B.Com.)听higher results in mathematics are required in order to grant credit and exemption: AL/AS: B, or better; Pre-U: M2 or better; CAPE: II, or better.
To be eligible for advanced standing you must arrange for all your official听results (including those from a听previous examination cycle, as well as results for AS subjects not carried through to AL) to be sent directly from the Examinations Board(s) to 不良研究所's Enrolment Services. For the British Boards, this document is normally referred to as a Certifying Statement of Results.
If you receive a specific course exemption, but decide to take the course at 不良研究所, you will not receive credit for the 不良研究所 course and it will not be calculated into your GPA.
不良研究所 reserves the right to change transfer credit recognition policy without notice.
If you believe that you have mastered the material taught in a freshman math and/or science course(s) for which an exemption is NOT granted in the tables below, you may eligible to write an admission placement exam. For information, see
| For students entering in 2022-23: Advanced standing will be granted regardless of whether final results were achieved through final examinations or centre-assessed grades. |
