Credit Transfer (CT)

Credit Transfer (CT) is defined as the process by which credit is granted towards a credential by one institution for programs or courses previously completed at a recognized institution. The granting of credit is based on the evaluation of equivalencies of subject matter. Currently, credit transfer information is primarily available through contacting individual institutions and/or viewing specified listings in their calendars.

Credit transfer processes may be applied when a person has completed courses or programs and would like to request credit at another educational institution (see Section 2.6 of the RPL Referral Guide).
