Credit & Transfer Agreements
Investing in post-
secondary education
is a big commitment
of time and money
– but it is a must have in
today’s labour market.
Whether you are thinking about studying at
NSCC or have already enrolled at a college
or university, it makes sense to learn how you
can maximize your education by applying your
diploma or degree to new programs.

Today, many university students continue on to

college, and college students continue on
to university – both provide distinct advantages for
graduates entering the workforce and throughout
their career. As a student, you want options that
best suit your interests and career needs, and
build on the learning from your hard-earned
credits and degrees. At NSCC we can help.
GETTING THE MOST
FROM YOUR DEGREE OR DIPLOMA

Transfer agreements
NSCC has established numerous special arrangements (called articulation
agreements) with post-secondary institutions in Canada and the US. Through
these cooperative agreements, NSCC graduates gain advanced standing in a
variety of university programs and vice versa.

One of the most popular options is the Two + Two Agreements – where a two-
year NSCC Diploma is recognized as the equivalent of two years of a four-year
university degree. By studying two years at NSCC and two years at university,
you can complete a diploma and a degree in just four years.

Quality education in your community

NSCC has campuses throughout Nova Scotia, so more students can access
post-secondary education closer to home. We offer more than 100 quality
programs combining classroom learning with on-the-job training so that you
can fully explore your education and career path. And with lower tuition costs,
NSCC can make a college/university combination a cost-effective choice for
many Nova Scotia families.

3
Respected and in-demand careers
Our quality education is highly respected in the workforce – 91% of NSCC
graduates are employed most within their fields of study and earning good
salaries. With results like these, a growing number of university students come
to NSCC to get the career-ready skills and practical experience they need for
the jobs they want.

In fact, nearly half of NSCC students in 2007 had some university or college
education. For graduates with university degrees and college diplomas, NSCC
offers a range of Advanced Diplomas that provide advanced and applied
learning in specialized fields of study, better preparing you for the marketplace.

Find out how you can benefit

This booklet outlines the agreements in place with universities in Canada
and the United States that will provide you with advanced standing in many
university and college programs. This is intended to provide you with an
overview; however, for the most up-to-date information, please consult the

Temple Young
NSCC Akerley Campus, Class of 2007
Business Administration Diploma
Mount Saint Vincent University, Class of 2009
Bachelor of Business Administration

“The College allowed me to dream a

bigger dream for myself. It provided me
with an amazing foundation to build on.”

to come back again. In 2007, she graduated from the Business Administration program and is
now enrolled in the BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration) program at Mount Saint Vincent
University (MSVU) as an Accounting major and working toward a CMA designation.

Temple credits NSCC for igniting a passion for learning. She earned top marks at NSCC and
numerous academic awards. By far her biggest accomplishment was winning the Canadian
Millennium National Excellence Scholarship. It funded her second year at NSCC and is now
paying her way through her first year of university. “I’m proud of myself and of what the College
has brought out in me – a passion for learning, compassion for others, and the confidence to
make my own opportunities in life,” Temple says.

Captain Cannon Janes

NSCC – IT Campus – Class of 2001
Mechanical Engineering Technology Diploma
Lakehead University – Class of 2003
Bachelor of Engineering

“The sky is the limit.”

Cannon Janes is proof positive that when you find something you love to do, there are no limits
to what you can achieve.

Cannon does not describe himself as a model student growing up. When Cannon graduated
from high school, he had no idea what he wanted to do with the rest of his life. After working and
studying for a few years, at the age of 23, Cannon decided to check out NSCC. He chose to study
Mechanical Engineering Technology and never looked back. “I knew from the first week, I had
found my niche,” says Cannon. “I loved it.”

Mechanical Engineering Technology is a very challenging program but it was one in which Cannon
excelled. After NSCC, Cannon joined the Air Force and went on to Lakehead University where
he completed his Engineering degree in two and a half years. Today, Cannon is a Captain in the
423 Maritime Helicopter Squadron. He leads a team of almost 200 people responsible for the
maintenance of all operational Seakings on the East Coast of Canada. He has traveled all over
Canada and has flown in or at the controls of a multitude of aircraft including CH146 Griffons,
CC130 Hercules, CT142 Dash 8s, CH124 Seakings and even broken the sound barrier in CF188
Hornets. “NSCC and the military provided me with great opportunities,” says Cannon.

Tristan Goulden
NSCC – Annapolis Valley Campus – Class of 2001
Geomatics Engineering Technician Diploma
University of New Brunswick – Class of 2005
Geomatics Engineering Degree

“NSCC has opened up a world

of opportunity for me.”

Tristan Goulden came to NSCC directly from high school and in a few short years managed to
earn both a college diploma and a university degree in the exciting world of Geomatics Engineering.

After completing his diploma in Geomatics Engineering Technician, Tristan moved on to university
to pursue a degree in Geomatics Engineering. He was given credit for his studies at NSCC’s
Centre of Geographic Science (COGS) and managed to complete what would normally be a
5-year university program in just four years flat.

Tristan, who grew up in Wolfville, is grateful for the doors his NSCC Geomatics Engineering
Technician Diploma opened for him. “You get a lot more practical experience with the College
than you would at university, where it’s more theoretical.” Tristan says the fact that he could prove
he had a certain set of skills also helped him get summer jobs and obtain work in the United
States. “It really helps when you have a piece of paper to show somebody.” The Mediterranean,
Western Canada, and Texas are just some of the places Tristan has already worked. He enjoys
the travel that comes with his work, but research is his love and he’s now working on his Masters.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS AN ARTICULATION AGREEMENT?

Some programs and institutions have specific arrangements in place to assist
students in pursuing multiple diplomas and degrees. Articulation is a formal
agreement between two or more institutions that allows specific programs at one
institution to be credited towards direct entry or advanced standing at another.
These arrangements are often referred to as articulation agreements. If a student
is in a program with such an agreement, they may easily enter into an articulated
program at another institution to further their studies. NSCC has prioritized the
pursuit of articulation agreements with a number of post-secondary institutions
because we value and respect learning and want to make sure that the learning
outcomes achieved at our institution become portable educational building blocks
to the future. For example, credit for our Practical Nursing program can be awarded
towards Nursing degree programs at Nova Scotia universities. These institutions
have already determined the subjects for which they will give advanced standing, as
well as any other specific requirements such as grade point average.

We are also pleased to help our adult learners through a partnership agreement
between NSCC and the NS Department of Education. This agreement affords
students the ability to obtain the Nova Scotia High School Graduation Diploma
for Adults. The Adult Learning Program is for those students who are 19 years
of age or older, have been out of public school for one full year or more, and do
not already have a Department of Education recognized high school graduation
diploma. This program offers a flexible, negotiated paced learning environment which
both challenges and supports adult learners as they work toward improving their
employability, gaining entrance into post-secondary programs, learning new skills and
improving their existing abilities.

19
WHAT ARE TRANSFER CREDITS?
A transfer credit is one that is granted by an institution based upon previous
successful study that has been undertaken at another institution. Students who
have completed a program of study at NSCC will be able to transfer credits earned
here towards advanced standing in an articulated program at another institution.
Students who have successfully completed credits at another post-secondary
institution may in turn apply for transfer credit at NSCC. Students must officially
apply to have their credits recognized and, if successful, they will appear on the
student transcript as “CR”.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE ARTICULATION PROCESS?

There are huge benefits to be realized through the articulation process. Not
only will students save money on tuition, student fees and textbooks, they will
be able to cut down on the duplication of learning by transferring credits already
obtained. This speeds up the academic process and moves them that much closer
to career readiness.

HOW DO I ENSURE I MAKE THE MOST OF ARTICULATION AND

TRANSFER CREDITS?
The best way for students to make great career and educational decisions is to
engage in some pre-planning. Discussing post-secondary options with a guidance
counselor or career transition specialist will ensure that students are knowledgeable
about their learning options and are aware of those college programs that are
associated with university degree completion opportunities.

If you are already a student at NSCC and are thinking of entering an articulated
program at another institution after graduation, make sure you contact the institution
you are planning to attend early in your program at NSCC. In order to take full
advantage of an articulation agreement, you may need advice from the receiving
institution regarding things such as concentration and/or elective selection.
