Description
Admission Notes for Transfer Agreements (Articulation Agreements)
- A final diploma program average of 75% is required to be eligible for the terms of an articulation agreement, unless otherwise specified.
- As some credits recognize areas covered in specific programs rather than one-to-one course equivalents numerical grades will not be recorded on the Trent transcript. Completion of these credits will be recognized with a "Pass" grade.
- If a student transfers to a different degree program, all transfer credits outlined in these agreements may not apply to the new degree program. It is the student's responsibility to discuss his or her academic program requirements with an Academic and to notify the Registrar's Office of any program changes.
- If you transfer to a different degree program, all transfer credits assigned may not apply to the new program. Any degree changes while at Trent should be discussed with an Academic Advisor: trentu.ca/advising.
