Transfer Credit Appeal
Admitted students who have received general transfer credit such as 1XX or 2XX can request a transfer credit appeal. In order to determine whether these courses are equivalent to an SFU course, you must submit detailed course outlines for further evaluation. These course outlines should include:
- a statement of course objective(s)
- the duration/number of weeks (excluding final exam period)
- hours per week of lecture (laboratory/tutorial/seminar/studio work) and the hours per week of required open laboratory work or open studio work
- the method of evaluation and grading
- week by week topics covered
- the textbook(s) used and/or other required readings
- the amount of credit/units earned

Before submitting your request
