Transferring from Another Faculty

Students with previous UAlberta post-secondary experience, regardless of whether it is several courses, a degree, or a diploma, will be assessed as transfer applicants.

Admission for students with previous UAlberta post-secondary experience into the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Alberta will depend on space availability within the faculty. Available seats will be offered on a competitive basis, considering the applicant's most recent fall/winter GPA and the amount of transferable coursework that they have completed. Students need to have a minimum GPA of 3.0 over fall and winter in a minimum of 8 courses to be considered, though the transfer GPA may be higher than that.

As part of the application, students will be asked to declare all previous post-secondary education and will be required to submit official transcripts. It is not possible to waive previous post-secondary credit.

Transfer applications will also be evaluated based on transferable post-secondary coursework. Unfortunately, the Faculty of Engineering is unable to conduct preliminary assessments of transfer credit; official transfer credit assessments can only be conducted after admission to a program.

The courses listed below are first year engineering courses and their equivalents currently being offered by other faculties at the University of Alberta; some courses require specific minimum grades to earn engineering credit. Completion of these courses does not guarantee admission into the program. Additional information is available on our Supplementary Qualifying Courses page under Student Services. 

Other transferable courses from the University of Alberta include:

Please note: students may be eligible for further transfer credit depending on their intended program and its elective/program requirements. This credit can only be assessed at the time of admission. Please refer to the Academic Calendar for a full list of our Complementary Studies (CSOP) electives, Impact of Technology on Society (ITS) electives, program requirements and course descriptions.
