How do I know what courses I am in?

You can see your registrations, and the courses for which you are on the waitlist, by using Registry Online Services. Click the Current Students link from the menu on the left. You will need to log in with your student ID number and a PIN. A default PIN is explained on the login page if you have not previously logged in. Once you are logged in, select "What am I registered in?" from the menu.

If you've forgotten your PIN, please contact the Registry, either in person or by email or by phone (465-3500), and we will reset it to the default for you.

How do I transfer my courses from another institution?

King's maintains extensive transfer credit agreements with Alberta post-secondary institutions through the Alberta Council on Admissions and Transfer. You can use their site to enter courses from other Alberta post-secondary institutions to see what agreements are in place. Bear in mind that more transfer credit may be available than this system displays, and that there are restrictions based on grades and total transfer credit in a program.

Once you have applied to King's you should submit to us an official transcript for your previous work. For institutions or courses we have not previously reviewed, we may also ask you to submit course outlines and calendar descriptions.

These are reviewed by our faculty to determine if we will grant credit. The criteria we use for this assessment are:

Accreditation of the Institution
Course Content
Course Contact Hours
Mark Distribution
Instructor Qualifications

Once this assessment is complete, you will receive an official transfer credit assessment statement. If you would like more information on transfer credit, please contact the Registry Officer.
