63.4.1 Attendance at Another Institution as a Visiting Student

Following initial admission, students are expected to complete all requirements at the University of Alberta. However, under academically justifiable special circumstances, students may apply to the Associate Dean, Undergraduate Program, for permission to take courses at another institution for application to their program here if

A student while registered in the Faculty of Business will not receive permission to register as a Visiting Student at another institution if the equivalent course is given on campus in the same term, except in the case of formal exchange programs (see §63.4.2). Approval will not be granted for requests where the student has already received the maximum allowable transfer courses (60). Qualified students should contact the Undergraduate Office, 2-20 Business Building, to request permission prior to enrolling in any course at another institution. There is no obligation to grant transfer credit unless prior written permission has been obtained in writing.

63.4.2 Attendance at Another Institution on a Recognized Exchange

For students already admitted to a degree program in the Faculty of Business who are participating in approved international exchange programs, credit will be considered on a credit-fail (CR-F) basis only. Approved international exchanges include exchanges through the University of Alberta or the Faculty of Business. Grades achieved in such courses will not normally be included in promotion or graduation average. Credit may be granted if a passing grade is achieved. Students must contact the Undergraduate Office to have transfer credit approved. There is no obligation to grant transfer credit unless prior permission has been obtained in writing.
