Transfer Credit

External transfer credit is academic credit earned at another institution and accepted toward a Royal Roads University certificate, diploma, or degree. Internal transfer credit is academic credit earned at Royal Roads University, either in a program or in a standalone course, and accepted toward a different Royal Roads University certificate, diploma, or degree.

Students may apply for transfer credit for Royal Roads University courses based on the successful completion of comparable courses at other recognized post-secondary institutions or at Royal Roads University. A student may not be awarded more credits for a course than those awarded by the originating institution (after conversion to the Royal Roads University credit weighting convention). External transfer credit requires the submission of official transcripts and all transfer credit, external and internal, requires the approval of the receiving dean and the registrar. Transfer credit is notated on a Royal Roads' transcript and included in the credits required for completion of the credential. No substitute courses are required in order to meet the minimum requirements for graduation.
