Process Timeline

Follow these steps to transfer your credits seamlessly to TWU.

Step 1 — Apply to TWU 

You will be asked to submit unofficial transcripts for all previous post-secondary level institutions (including AP/IB courses) as part of the application process.

Step 2 — Collect course syllabi 

To receive specific transfer credit at TWU, you may be required to submit syllabi for some of your courses. We recommend you start gathering these documents while waiting for your admission decision. Please review our “Syllabus/Syllabi” definition before gathering syllabi. You should contact your institution’s registrar’s office to request syllabi you do not have access to.

Step 3 — Receive your admission decision

You should hear back from our Admissions staff within one to two weeks of submitting your application.

Step 4 — Wait for an initial transfer evaluation 

In most cases, your initial transfer credit evaluation will be emailed to you from transfer@twu.ca within five to seven business days of being admitted to TWU.

Step 5 — Submit course syllabi 

For any courses which say “syllabus needed” on your transfer credit evaluation, please submit detailed copies of your course syllabus to your enrolment advisor or to transfer@twu.ca.

Step 6 — Wait for your final transfer credit decisions

Courses for which you have submitted syllabi will be evaluated by our faculty members to determine if credit can be granted. It typically takes four to six weeks to receive all final decisions from faculty, depending on their availability. Once all decisions are received, you will be emailed with an updated copy of your transfer credit record. You may also check periodically for updates by logging into your Student Portal.

Step 7 — Submit your official/final transcripts

Official transcripts must be sent directly from your post-secondary institution to TWU. Your transfer credit will not be finalized until we have received your official transcripts. It is important to ensure that you submit an official transcript (even with missing grades) prior to registering for courses at TWU.

Transcripts may be sent digitally to admissions@twu.ca or mailed to:
