What to look out for for transfer credits at the University of Waterloo in Canada

Study in Canada: Undergraduate transfer credit requirements and precautions.

Many students who are currently studying in a college or university want to apply for a bachelor's degree to continue their studies, but do not want to completely waste the courses they have taken in China, so they can transfer their domestic credits to Canadian universities. Teacher Helen, a senior study abroad consultant of the Canadian Education Socks Alliance, pointed out that there are usually the following requirements and matters to be paid attention to when studying abroad to Canada for the graduation of students

1. At least one year of study in college. The amount of content learned is directly proportional to the number of credits that should be transferred.

2. The number of credits to be transferred shall be determined according to the major to be studied. For example, if you studied business in China, you will change to computer science abroad. The number of credits that can be transferred will be reduced accordingly.

Basically, all the credits transferred are elective courses (i.e., selective). However, generally speaking, the maximum number of credits that can be transferred is 60, and most of the major courses need to be retaken.

3. You must send the course description to the registration center of the university you have applied for.

First of all, about how to write this course profile, you can refer to the course profile of foreign universities. You can write these things yourself, you don't need a lot, as long as you can explain what the course is about, and you need to include the grades obtained. At least, there are grades.

Only 70 or 80 points can be transferred. All content must be written in English.

Secondly, the profile should have the official seal of the previous university. If you need to send it to several universities, you can use a copy and a stamp.

Before doing this work, please ask the school you are applying to for specific regulations and implementation methods, as the transfer of credits for different schools, majors, and courses you have already taken will vary. Moreover, the purpose of transferring credits is to allow you to skip some of the similar courses at a Canadian university, which can save you some time and money to some extent.

Materials to prepare:

High school diploma and transcripts (in English and Chinese);

Academic certificates and transcripts (in Chinese and English) from technical secondary school, college or university, etc.;

TOEFL and IELTS test scores; Admission application fee (fees vary from school to school);

Other materials required by Canadian universities, such as college credits, course descriptions of courses taken, and grading criteria.

Notes: 1. Application time.

Learn about the transfer school's application requirements and credit course requirements. Each school and different majors have their own deadlines for transfer applications, usually about half a year before admission. Students can set the application period to one year.

During this period, students need to submit application materials, the school needs to review the materials, feedback the review results, and arrange the admission work.

2. Find out whether the intended major accepts inter-major transfer.

Compared with science students, liberal arts students can choose a wider range of majors, such as language direction, media, translation, journalism, education, literature and history, sociology, psychology, accounting, etc.

Due to the strong specialization of science majors, the course content varies greatly, and the success rate of applications with a large professional span is generally low. Science students are mainly considering transferring to related majors. For students who apply for a large range of majors, you can provide more materials that are suitable for your major to increase the success rate of your application.

3. College grades.

Students are usually required to prepare university grades and proof of language proficiency. Generally, it is a one-year study certificate and an average score of 75 or more in a domestic university. Proof of language proficiency (TOEFL or IELTS) helps prove that the student has the ability to study and live in Canada.

After all, Canada is an English-speaking country. In order to live and study in Canada smoothly, you need to have a certain level of language skills.

Any student who meets the requirements for a Canadian university transfer can apply for a transfer, and students who have failed their transfer application can continue to submit their application.

First of all, you need to meet the basic requirements for undergraduate admission to a certain university in Canada and get an admission letter from the school.

After being admitted (or at the same time of application), you can provide your certificate of enrollment in a Chinese university, university transcripts, and course descriptions, and Canadian universities will determine how many local Canadian courses can be exempted based on the materials and course descriptions you provide, which is called transfer credits.

To apply for transfer credits directly to the Canadian university you want to apply to, you need to provide a detailed course description of the courses you are taking in China, and note that the basic subjects of Chinese universities, such as university language or Marxist philosophy, cannot be transferred for credits. Moreover, if you apply to change to different majors, you can't transfer too many credits, so Chinese undergraduates can't transfer too many credits when applying for a bachelor's degree from a university.

Canadian universities generally have 120 credits for 40 courses, and schools that accept transfer credits can generally give students a maximum of 60 credits for 20 courses, which is what we usually call 2+2 courses.

Most of the credits that can be reduced are electives, and few of the required courses can be reduced.

The University of Prince Edward Island is one of the first Canadian public universities recognized by the Ministry of Education of China, ranking among the top 10 basic universities in Canada, with an annual tuition fee of about 140,000 yuan, which is extremely cost-effective. In particular, the small class size allows each student to be cared for and supported, so it is rated as the most satisfactory university for Canadian graduates.

The University of Prince Edward Island has a 2+2 curriculum with many 985 211 universities in China, and the recognition of Chinese university credits is a shortcut for college students to enter the world's top universities.

PEI college students can get a green card 6-9 months after graduation, eliminating the worries of further education and employment.

International students usually have the following points to pay attention to when transferring credits to Canada:

1) You must have spent at least one year at the university, and the amount of content you learn is directly proportional to the amount of credits you should transfer.

2. The number of credits to be transferred shall be determined according to the major to be studied. If you study business in China and change to computer science abroad, the number of credits you can transfer will be reduced accordingly.

3) You must send the course description to the registration center of the university you have applied for evaluation.

International students who transfer credits to Canadian universities usually need to pay attention to these aspects: du1, at least one year of study in the university, the amount of content learned is directly proportional to the amount of credits that should be transferred;

2. The credits to be learned need to be determined according to the major to be studied, if you study business in China and change to computer science abroad, the credits that can be transferred will be reduced accordingly;

3. The course introduction must be sent to the registration center of the university for evaluation.
