The Daniels Faculty will assess all post-secondary credits obtained at a certified institution for potential transfer credit. Acceptance of transfer credits by the University of Toronto shall be based on the recognition that, while learning experiences may differ in a variety of ways, their substance may be virtually equivalent in terms of their content and rigour.

Current Daniels Faculty students who wish to take courses at other academic institutions must review the information on the Letter of Permission and Post-Admission Transfer Credit page. 

It is strongly recommended that all incoming transfer students  (except from FAS, UTM & UTSC) submit their Transfer Credit Assessment Application by May 1. The deadline to submit an assessment is either June 1 or your offer response date (whichever is latest).

Is it mandatory for me to apply for a transfer credit assessment?
Yes. Applying for a transfer credit assessment is mandatory if you are eligible to receive transfer credits. To check eligibility, please review your offer of admission in your JOIN U of T portal. If you are eligible for transfer credit and do not apply for a transfer credit assessment, you will be unable to register in the Daniels Faculty after your first Fall/Winter session.
