UofT does not do that. (toronto is part of the experience, man.) however, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.athabascau.ca\/\">athabasca university<\/a> offers all of their courses through distance education. because who would want to go to athabasca? i was speaking with a department chair the other day, and he sounded pretty cool with transfer credits, but each department is different. got to your registrar&#8217;s office and get a letter of permission. basically you fill out a form and send it and the course description away. it goes through the bureaucratic machinery of your registrar&#8217;s office, the faculty of arts and science registrar&#8217;s office, the department&#8217;s office, back to the faculty, back to your registrar, and eventually back to you. the result will either be: yes! we will welcome this credit and the knowledge you acquired at this alternate institution as our own!, or no. UofT does not look highly on the so-called &#8220;knowledge&#8221; you wish to acquire at this &#8220;institution&#8221;, and we will refuse to accept it as our own, or no\/yes! we do not have an equivalent to this knowledge that you want to acquire, but we can see it&#8217;s value, so you will receive a blank credit (e.g. ENG3**) which count towards either your program or your degree. there are a number of other universities that offer distance education (like lakehead, because who would want to go to thunder bay?). your registrar is the place to begin. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"-1\" face=\"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">cheers,<br \/>\naskastudent<\/font><\/p>\n<p><!-- #EndEditable --><!-- #EndTemplate --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>where do i find out information about distance education?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-748","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-other-schools-boo"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=748"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=748"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=748"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askastudent.utoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=748"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
