Introduction

 

The Transfer Guide is an annual publication of the Department of Education. This, the fifteenth edition of the guide is for the 2008-2009 academic year. The Transfer Guide was designed as a guidance tool to be used in conjunction with other post-secondary education and training planning resources. The guide lists established transfer of credit precedents available to students in Newfoundland and Labrador.

 

The arrangements for transfer credit recorded in this Transfer Guide apply to courses or programs taken during the 2008-2009 academic year (September 1, 2008 to August 31, 2009). Credit for courses taken previously is normally governed by the appropriate Transfer Guide for the year in which courses were taken. Students who have interrupted their studies or spread them out over a longer period of time should seek advice from the institution which the student wishes to enter to determine the current status of transfer arrangements.

 

The Transfer Guide is available ONLINE through the Department of Education homepage located at www.ed.gov.nl.ca. The electronic version includes a transfer database enabling students, faculty, administrators, and counselors to conduct a credit transfer search online.

 

Registrars, guidance counselors, high school teachers, instructors and most importantly students at the secondary and post-secondary levels will find the Transfer Guide to be a timely reference source to inform and assist in matters relating to the transfer of credit from one institution to another within the public post-secondary system. The Transfer Guide should prove to be an important resource for all those involved in post-secondary education and training in this province.

 

Copies of the 2008-2009 Transfer Guide can be obtained by contacting Registrar/Student Service offices of the public post-secondary institutions or by writing the Department of  Education.
