These policies are in effect for students entering the University during the 2008-2009 academic year.

We encourage students to review these policies periodically.

For any exams not listed above, and for those which specify "departmental review", students will be sent to each relevant department with a Transfer Credit Form indicating that we recommend 1-2 c.u. for a grade of A or B, and 1 c.u. for a grade of C.
For Advanced Supplementary ("AS") level examinations, students will be sent to each relevant department with a Transfer Credit Form indicating that we recommend 1 c.u. only for a grade of A, B or C.
