Transfer credit policy
Courses to be transferred from a previously attended university or academic institution must be relevant to the Kinesiology program and roughly equivalent to University of Waterloo's courses. Normally, only those courses in which a student has received 60% or better are eligible for transfer credit. The maximum number of courses which can be transferred is the equivalent of 10 units.
