Review Transfer Credit Report

Your Transfer Credit Report will provide results on all of your Transfer Credit applications including pending applications, denied and granted Credits.  Frequently review this Report until all of your application decisions are final.

It is your responsibility to adjust your course schedule immediately after receiving granted Transfer Credits.  For options on course planning and schedule adjustments contact your program advisor. 

You can view your Transfer Credit Report by accessing the RAMSS tab of my.ryerson.ca. Instructions on how to view your Transfer Credit Report are available on RAMSS Support. The Course Credits section of the Report is where equivalent Ryerson courses are posted as credits.  The Comments section may include relevant comments on your applications, including denied reasons.

Generic Liberal Studies and Professional Credits

Typically when making decisions faculty attempt to grant specific Ryerson credits however when a specific Ryerson course cannot be established generic credits are issued.  Visit Eligible Transfer Credits on how our faculty evaluators determine Transfer Credit equivalencies.

When specific Liberal Studies courses such as PSY 105 and SOC 103 cannot be granted, generic Liberal Studies are granted for example GEN LLS, SOC LL2, PSY ULS and SOC UL2.

The first 3 letters of the credit represent the subject area. For example:

• GEN – General Subject Area
• SOC – Sociology
• PSY – Psychology

The course number indicates the level and unit value of the credit. For example:

• LLS - Lower Level Liberal Studies (Table A)
• LL2 - 2 Lower Level Liberal Studies (Table A)
• ULS - Upper Level Liberal Studies (Table B)
• UL2 - 2 Upper Level Liberal Studies (Table B)

Occasionally when your previous courses do not meet Liberal Studies requirements they can be considered for Professional or Professionally-Related credits.  Generic credits such as ECN GEN, PSY GEN, PRE GEN are granted when your courses do not match specific Ryerson courses.

The first 3 letters of the credit represent the subject area. For example: 

• SOC – Sociology
• PSY – Psychology                 
  
• PRE – General Professionally-Related Subject Area

PRE GEN credits are generally granted for subject areas not listed in the Professionally-Related Table or for subjects not offered at Ryerson. 

Run Advisement Report
