Hi,
I’m looking information on transfering from University of Windsor to U
ofT. I’ve completed first year at Windsor in English and Philosophy. I’m
wanting to take Near and Middle Eastern civilization. Will all my
credits be transferable?
Thank you.

Hello. To transfer to UofT, take a look at this page, which outlines the transfer process you?ll need to follow in order to be admitted into the University of Toronto. According to this page, you should fill out an application from OUAC. Make sure you use the 105 Application, and not the 101 one which high school students use. I’m assuming you’re smart enough to figure that out though, right?
If all the courses you?ve taken are just humanities, social science, or sciences courses so far, I?m guessing that all of the credits will be transferable. The page I linked you to says that credits will be transferable as long as they?re ?academic in nature and not clinical?, which means as long as you didn?t take any classes from like, fine arts or something, you?ll probably be fine. Don?t take my word for it though. I know a friend who transferred into the Faculty of Arts and Science from engineering, but his engineering credits didn?t transfer over. I know. The admissions committee can be SO silly sometimes. Why can’t they have transfer credits for engineering or fine arts courses?! Can’t we all just get along?
On the bright side, even if you lose a few credits, you can probably make it up during the summer. If you really want to come to UofT, then the transfer may just be well worth it.
Oh yeah! I almost forgot. Take a look at this page. It lists the requirements for the Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations program. Are you thinking of doing the specialist, major, or minor program? If you don?t know what those are, they basically represent different levels of intensity at which UofT students can study their chosen area of study. The specialist program for Near and Middle Eastern Civilization program has 11 required credits, the major program has 6 required credits, and the minor program has 4 required credits. You may want to take a look at the course codes to see what interests you. It’s probably also a good idea to contact the department to get some more information about the programs offered here.
