Applying for Transfer Credits

Ryerson has 2 types of Transfer Credit Applications: online and paper. 

If your previous institution is available online you must apply online.  Online applications are available for all Ontario institutions and several out-of-province Canadian Universities

Applying Online

After receiving an Offer of Admission, you are eligible to apply for Transfer Credits online.  Instant unofficial results will appear upon submitting your application.  Unofficial results are based on previously established equivalencies contained in our Transfer Credit Database.  Official results are confirmed on your Transfer Credit Report after accepting your Offer of Admission, and after May 1, if you are admitted for the upcoming Fall Term.

Once application results are confirmed, you may submit course outlines, if required, for faculty evaluation.

6 Steps to apply online

	Access the online Application on the RAMSS tab of my.ryerson.ca and enter all applicable courses from your post-secondary institution Before applying, have all relevant materials for your Application nearby. Ensure you are using a supported web browser and operating system. Detailed online application intructions are available on RAMSS Support.  Submit a complete Application the first time. You may apply for all completed or In Progress (IP) courses. If some of your courses are not found using the look-ups in the Application, submit the available courses and email the missing courses to tcredits@ryerson.ca.  The course(s) will be updated and you can return to the application to submit remaining course(s). Your Offer of Admission confirms Transfer Credit restrictions.  If Credits were granted on your Offer, you do not need to apply for these courses.
	Review the instantly generated unofficial results Displayed results reveal which courses are accepted, denied, and have no equivalency rule, pending validation by the Transfer Credit Unit. Prior to May 1st: results could change due to yearly Transfer Credit Database revisions. No Rule courses must be evaluated by Ryerson faculty to determine an equivalency. See Step 4 on how to submit course outlines.
