Transfer Credits

Resident graduate work of high quality in a recognized graduate school elsewhere and within a five year time limit preceding the date of admission to this program may be accepted to the extent of two and one-half full classes (5 half classes). Such credits will be transferred only after the student has established a satisfactory record in residence here for at least one-half of a regular academic session, and then only if the Division or the Department concerned recommends to the Dean of the College of Graduate Studies and Research, for his approval, the transfer of such credits as being appropriate to the student''s program in his chosen field. Work already applied toward another degree cannot be accepted. Transferred credit will not reduce the residence requirement at the University of Saskatchewan, but it may reduce the amount of formal course work required.

For the M.Sc. and Clinical Engineering degrees, residence at the University is required for at least one regular academic session, starting in September and ending in April.  For a Ph.D. degree, two academic sessions are the minimum residence requirements.
