Normally students transferring from another faculty or university may be granted credit for relevant courses in which they have received a grade of 60% or better.
One term of advanced work experience standing may be granted to students transferring into the co-operative system of study in the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences. Details are available from Co-operative Education.
Regardless of the number of courses that are presented for transfer, students admitted from another post secondary institution will be required to complete a minimum of 50% of their course work while registered in the new academic plan within the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences. Students admitted from another academic plan within the University of Waterloo may be granted transfer credit for all acceptable courses and milestones completed at the University of Waterloo at the discretion of the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences' Admissions Committee. Students should be aware that all requirements of the new academic plan must be met in order to graduate with that degree, regardless of the number of transfer credits that are granted.
University of Waterloo students have two options with respect to the assignment of transfer credits. These options are:
Option One: All courses, both passed and failed, taken in other faculties at the University of Waterloo are transferred and are used in the calculation of cumulative overall and major averages.
Option Two: Only courses in which a grade of 60% or better has been achieved will be transferred. These courses will not be used in the calculation of cumulative overall and major averages.
