Policies remain under ongoing review, and are subject to change without notice.

These policies are in effect for students entering the University during the 2009-2010 academic year. Please note that in several instances departmental evaluations have changed from previous years, and that all these policies remain under ongoing review, and are subject to change without notice. We encourage students to review these policies periodically.

Students must show their original A-Level certificates to the Office of Transfer Credit, Room G09 College Hall, in order to have their scores evaluated for credit.

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.

For Advanced Supplementary ("AS") level examinations, students will be sent to each relevant department with a Transfer Credit Form for review.
