Degree Credit Courses
How to Tell If a Course Is Degree Credit
You can search for degree credit as well as certificate and degree credit courses using our Course Search tool. Select “Degree Credit” or “Certificate and Degree Credit” in the Course Category dropdown menu.
Each course description page lists the Credit Type under the course title. Look for courses that say Degree Credit.
Course Codes
Chang School course codes are the same as those listed in your Toronto Metropolitan undergraduate program curriculum, with a ‘C’ added in front of the undergraduate course code.
For example, Toronto Metropolitan University’s ACC 100 – Introductory Financial Accounting is CACC 100 – Introductory Financial Accounting when taken through The Chang School.
For more information, visit How to Enrol in a Course.
Note: Not all Chang School courses are accepted for credit towards their Toronto Metropolitan counterparts. Please follow up with the appropriate faculty for more information.
