- 8. Transfer Credit • Transfer:the movement of students between post- secondary institutions • Transfer credit: the credit received for the successful completion of prior post-secondary studies
- 9. Transfer Jargon Typesof Post-secondary Institutions ◦ Sending Institution – the transfer institution/college at which you took courses (ie. Lakeland College) ◦ Receiving Institution – the institution/university to which you intend to transfer (ie. U of A) Types of Credit ◦ Specified Credit – there is a course that is an “exact” equivalent at another institution (ex. BIOL 107) ◦ Unspecified Credit – the course is transferable but there is not an exact match (ex. BIOL 1xx)
- 10. Transfer Credit Tools Alberta www.transferalberta.ca Checkout the just-released mobile app! Saskatchewan (U of S) http://explore.usask.ca/admissions/transfer/ Example: Lakeland College SOC 100 (3 credits) = SOC 100 (3) at the U of A = SOC 111.3 at the U of S = SOCI 1000 (3) at the U of L
- 11. Reasons Courses MayNot Transfer • Grades • Minimum grades to transfer may be in effect • Program/University Requirements • A change in desired route • Not all courses transfer to all institutions • Certain courses do not fit in to certain programs • Too many junior-level courses • Residency requirement

Editor's Notes
- #4 ME: Within the UT dept: Timetable Transfer credit Courses Publications, website, FB Special events For students: Choose classes Course changes YOU: 1st time on campus? Already applied? Name/program/university/hometown
- #5 2011-2012 177 “new” students 81 returning 258 total Where are they from? 45% from Lloyd (116 new and returning students) 78 of 177 NEW students from small-town SK/AB (44%) This year, 2 from USA; 11 from Manitoba; 4 from Ontario; 3 from BC So where are they going and to what? (see this slide) 3rd largest group is “undecided”!!
- #8 10 UT programs in AB (RDC, Med Hat, Grande Prairie, etc) But nothing similar in SK (different than a regional college because we own our own courses)
- #9 Students may transfer from College to university Or university to university (if you start at the U of S and transfer to the U of A, you are still a transfer student) In Fall 2010 (most recent #S available) in AB: 12 328 students transferred WITHIN the province of AB, so lots of people are doing it, and it works! This includes UT students but also students who complete a diploma and then go to a university to get a degree…and others who change their mind/school
- #10 Fall 2010 131 Lakeland College students transferred to universities in AB Highest # to the U of A (46) AU (28) MacEwan (26) U of L (17) U of C (12) Mount Royal (2) We don’t get the same stats from Saskatchewan, but I think in Fall 2010, our #s to the U of S passed the U of A for the first time (48 students or so)
- #11 ACAT Video Sample search for TC FAQs “transfer information” includes AP and other charts
- #21 Use ApplyAlberta to apply from website (or paper form) Start choosing classes April 16 (after Group Advising Days)
