Transfer Between Provinces

How Interprovincial Transfer Works

Transferring your post-secondary education from another province works on the same principles as transfer within Alberta, except that students are responsible for providing their own high school and post-secondary transcripts.

Transferring Between Institutions

The transfer process involves three steps:

1.  Apply to the institution you wish to transfer to.
2.  As part of your application, order a transcript from the post-secondary institution that you're transferring from (official transcripts are usually sent directly  between institutions at your request).
3.  If the receiving institution admits you, your transcript will be evaluated for transfer credit, however, additional information, like course outlines (syllabi) may be required.

Ask the Registrar's office of your receiving institution for more information.

Transferring Apprenticeship Training or Certification

If you received apprenticeship or pre-apprenticeship training in another province or territory, you can use it to further your education anywhere in the country. The  Apprentice Mobility Protocol ensures your technical training, work experience and examination results are recognized by other provinces and territories. The Protocol also increases your ability to pursue jobs anywhere in Canada without interrupting your training. 

Search for Transfer Opportunities in Alberta

The Transfer Alberta Search tool contains transfer information for institutions located within Alberta (Aurora, Nunavut Arctic and Yukon College are out of province, as is Thompson Rivers University Open Learning). However, many students each year transfer credits to and from Alberta.
