Transfer Credits Policy

The College accepts a maximum of 600 hours (equivalent to one academic year in TCICTCM) of transferred credits for the Diploma Programs. However, there are exceptions to this general rule under special circumstances.
The approval of Transfer Credits application does not entitle the applicant to attend the courses for which the credits have been transferred.
For applicants who would like to review a course for which the credits have been transferred, auditing (without having to write examinations) is available at 50% of the tuition for the course.
The filled application will be sent to the Education Administration Committee for review, which will complete within 15 business days upon receipt of the application fee and all required materials.
An application after the Program start will be considered as withdrawal for the concerned courses.
Coursework taken at another institution while/after attending TCICTCM is not transferrable.
Check the posted cases and frequently asked questions on the Transfer Credits webpage before you submit your application.
The administration fee for each course is $100.00 and is at maximum $800.00 if you apply for over 8 courses IN THE SAME APPLICATION. This fee is non-refundable regardless of approval or rejection.
The transcript, indicating your course name, total hours/credits of training completed and passing grades, can be directly mailed from your institution or submitted in person (if it is original and officially sealed) to the school at 7 Villa Ada Dr., Markham ON L6B 1N7
To apply for Transfer Credits, a Comprehensive Evaluation Report from ICES (International Credential Evaluation Service) is required if the education you intend to use for Transfer Credits is acquired outside Canada. Visit http://www.bcit.ca/ices/ for more information.
Course outlines or contents may be required if further verification is needed, in situations where the course name or coverage is not the same as the courses for which you want to transfer. Providing such supporting documents along with your submission will speed up the reviewing process.
The fee can be paid in multiple ways. Please visit Methods of Payment for instructions.
Provide your supporting documents as completely as possible when you submit the application. It is understandable to send supplemental documents shortly after the application is submitted as some applicants would realize they forget to enclose some documents.

Questions regarding the Transfer Credits result must be raised within 2 weeks after result notification.
