Generally transfer credit can be given for courses completed at accredited post-secondary institutions in which a grade of 70% or better was obtained. Students transferring from other institutions may have their transferred courses count toward the University of Waterloo degree as determined by the undergraduate officer. Grades obtained in these courses will not be included in the calculation of the student's average. Transfer credit may be given towards elective course requirements, as well as, core courses for which a precise matching of content can be proven.
Incoming students wishing to receive credit for previous courses should contact the undergraduate officer to have their transcripts and course outlines reviewed. The actual assessment and agreement to transfer credits will only be completed for students who have been accepted into the program.
Students transferring from faculties within the University, or former University of Waterloo students returning after an absence, may transfer previous University of Waterloo courses with 60% or better to fulfil Honours Bachelor of Architectural Studies (BAS) program requirements, whether core or elective. Generally, the grades from these courses are not included in the cumulative average.
