STEP 3: APPLY
How to Apply for Transfer Credit for Institutions within Ontario
If you are applying for Transfer Credits with previous education taken in Ontario, please go to your MyHumber Account and click on Transfer Application.
Transfer credit applications and supporting documents must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar four weeks prior to the start of term. If your application is received after this time, it may interfere with the last day to add and drop courses (Please see the Academic Calendar).
Applicants are encouraged to apply for transfer credit(s) prior to registration to avoid making changes to schedule. All applicants are expected to register and attend all required courses until results have been confirmed.
STEP 4: TRACK YOUR TRANSFER CREDITS
Watch the video to learn how to track your application.
Transfer credits will be posted to your Academic Progress report on MyHumber as “IP” (in progress). If a transfer credit is approved, you will see “TRC” with a green check mark. Once a course is approved, you are responsible for dropping the course from your timetable.
Please refer to the Humber Academic Calendar for important course enrollment and withdrawal deadlines.
Important Reminders:
- We do not accept incomplete applications. Please ensure you have all the required documents at the time of submission.
- Transfer credit fees will be posted to your MyHumber account. See humber.ca/fees for more information.
- We provide exemption for a WRIT 100 - level English course if a student holds a conferred degree from a recognized Canadian or American institution. Please read our FAQ section under "Want To Know More" for more information.
- International students should check with their Student Advisors in the International Centre before applying for transfer credit as this may affect their work permit.
- OSAP recipients should make sure that transfer credit does not affect their full-time status as this may impact their OSAP.

Math and Statistics Transfer Credits
If you have completed math or statistics courses at the college or university level you may be eligible for transfer credits. Transfer credits are determined by the number of hours in the course you have completed (at least 42) and how well the learning outcomes of the course that you have taken match the learning outcomes of our math courses (which include four categories: general mathematics, business mathematics, technical mathematics, and statistics).
After you have read the information below, follow the application process above.
Eligible
The following course levels may be eligible for Math or Statistics course credit:
- From: Diploma-Level Course For: Diploma-Level Credit
- From: Degree-Level Course For: Diploma-Level Credit
- From: Diploma-Level Course For: Degree-Level Credit (minimum grade of 65% or the equivalent letter grade).
- From: Degree-Level Course For: Degree-Level Credit
Non-Eligible
The following are not eligible for transferable credits:
- High school credits at the C or U level.

Liberal Studies Transfer Credits
Transfer credit for individual Liberal Studies courses is awarded when a student is granted credit for completed academic work at another post-secondary institution. The credit should meet Humber's General Education (diploma) or Breadth Elective (degree) requirements. Courses from the Humanities (e.g. History, Literature, Philosophy), Natural Sciences (e.g. Astronomy, Geography, Environmental Studies) and Social Sciences (e.g., Political Science, Psychology, Sociology) often meet these requirements. If a student is seeking transfer credit for a specific program-required course, then the learning outcomes of the course in question should be equivalent to the required Liberal Studies course.
After you have read the information below, follow the application process above.
Diploma to Diploma
Diploma to Diploma - to transfer Diploma-level course(s) from another post-secondary institution to Humber, for Liberal Studies Diploma-Level credit
Minimum requirements
The minimum requirement for Diploma-level post-secondary courses taken at another institution for Liberal Studies Diploma-level credit at Humber normally include:
- A minimum grade of 60% or the equivalent letter grade.
- The course is considered an elective in your program and at Humber. Courses typically include those in the Humanities (e.g., Literature, History, Philosophy), Social Sciences (e.g., Political Science, Psychology, Sociology), and Natural Sciences (e.g., Astronomy, Geography, Environmental Studies).
- The institution is an accredited postsecondary institution or its equivalent.
Course & Program-Specific Information:
- GNED 101: An Introduction to Arts and Sciences is the General Education foundation course and is designed to introduce students to the breadth of disciplines in the Liberal Arts & Sciences. The GNED 101 course will normally be the last General Education transfer credit applied to the student's record. For example, if a student qualifies for two General Education transfer credits and is in a program that requires two General Education courses and GNED 101, the student would still have to take the GNED 101 to satisfy the program requirements; in this case, only if a third transfer credit is granted, would an exemption from GNED 101 be granted.
Program-Designated General Education Courses and Credit:
- In some programs, students are required to take a particular Liberal Studies course as part of the program curriculum. For example, in the Practical Nursing program, PSYC 150 Psychology: Introduction is a course that all students in the Practical Nursing program must take.
- Students will normally receive transfer credit for a program-designated course, if and only if, the course meets ALL of the specific learning outcomes as stated in the program-designated course outline.
- If credit is granted for a program-designated course, the course used as the basis for granting credit cannot be used for additional credit toward a General Education Elective. For example, if credit for PSYC 150 is granted, the course used in applying for the credit cannot be used for additional transfer credit.
- Students who take program-designated courses cannot take the same course for General Education credit. For example, students required to take PSYC 150 Psychology: Introduction as part of their program are, therefore, restricted from taking PSYC 150 for General Education Elective credit.
