Degree Credit Courses

How to Tell If a Course Is Degree Credit

When using our Course Search tool, be sure to 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 or Certificate and 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.

Note: If a course you are enrolling in requires prerequisites and you believe you have obtained an equivalent prerequisite from your home institution, you must obtain a prerequisite waiver from The Chang School before you enrol.

To request a prerequisite waiver, please email ce@torontomu.ca with your:

  • 1. Full name
  • 2. Desired Toronto Metropolitan course code and section for which you are requesting a prerequisite waiver
  • 3. Unofficial transcript showing the completed prerequisite(s)

For more information, see how to transfer credits for undergraduate students from a different university.
