Academic Credit Transfer and Inter-University Transfer Agreements for Physical & Occupational Therapy Students
The Inter-University Transfer (IUT) agreement permits concurrent registration at McGill and another Quebec institution. In certain cases, credits may be granted by the School for courses taken at other universities. Approval by the Program Director is required and must be obtained in advance.
Courses accepted for transfer credits must meet the following criteria:
- Courses must be comparable in their content and in their method of evaluation to McGill courses students are allowed to take for credit at McGill;
- Course content must not overlap with courses already passed at McGill, CEGEP, another university, or elsewhere.
Students wishing to take advantage of this agreement should consult the Student Affairs Office for details. Further instructions and conditions are listed at University Regulations and Resources > Undergraduate > Registration > Quebec Inter-University Transfer Agreement. If you are an IUT student visiting McGill from another university, please refer to Quebec Inter-University Transfer Agreement: Visiting IUT Students.
Note: The letter grades applied by the host institution take precedence over the numerical grades if both are provided. In order to be granted transfer credits, the final grades earned at the host university must meet the minimum requirements as set by the Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy programs. Grades earned at the host university for transfer courses are not entered on the student's McGill transcript and are not included in the calculation of the TGPA or CGPA. For courses that are completed, the grade will be automatically submitted to the home university (McGill) by the host institution. Students who later wish to drop or withdraw from the course(s) for which approval has been granted will need to drop or withdraw from the course as per the method of registration at the host university AND submit this change on the online IUT application. For universities outside of Quebec, it is the student's responsibility to ensure that an official transcript is sent from the host institution to the Student Affairs Office. Students studying at another Quebec university on an Inter-University Transfer Agreement (IUT) will have their grade(s) sent to McGill University automatically by the host university. Transcripts not received by the appropriate date will be considered for the next graduation period only.
