Transfer Student Applications
Transfer to Emily Carr University and bring your course credits with you.
If you are an academic, fine art, design, or media arts-based student with credits earned from another post-secondary institution, you may be able to transfer into a program at Emily Carr University.
We welcome university-level transfer applicants from a number of post-secondary institutions in addition to those included on our partner list.
Second and third-year undergraduate transfer applicants will be considered on a space availability basis.
If you are a first-year (Foundation Year) applicant, and you possess previous studies, please submit those official transcripts with your Foundation application. Your official transcripts will be reviewed for transfer credit that fits your desired major.
