Transferability

At NorQuest College, we strongly believe in helping our students and alumni find pathways into further education and future career advancement. Through post-secondary transfer agreements, graduates can build on the education they receive at NorQuest and pursue new opportunities. 

Turn your diploma into a degree 

This program has been intentionally developed as a bridging program to provide a solid foundation for further education. NorQuest’s Bachelor of Arts and Sciences diploma students, with at least 24 credits and a minimum 2.0 GPA, may be eligible to apply for:  

  • University of Alberta, Bachelor of Arts 
  • University of Alberta, Bachelor of Science 
  • MacEwan University, Bachelor of Arts 
  • MacEwan University, Bachelor of Science 
  • Red Deer Polytechnic, Bachelor of Arts in Psychology 
  • Red Deer Polytechnic, Bachelor of Arts in Multidisciplinary Studies  

NorQuest can’t guarantee admission or  course transfer  into a program at another institution. Your application will be assessed based on the entry requirements of the receiving institution. 

 Course transfer 

Other post-secondary institutions in Alberta and across Canada may also accept transfer credits from NorQuest College. Transfer Alberta lists many Alberta institutions where your courses may transfer. For the most accurate and current information, connect with a NorQuest Academic Program Advisor
 

Transfer guidance 

For the best experience, reach out to the Arts and Sciences Academic Program Advisor early—ideally once you’re able to enrol. They’ll help you clarify your transfer goals, plan your coursework, and make sure you have the right contacts at the receiving institution. 

From there, most students benefit from contacting their future institution during the first term. Starting early helps you understand application timelines, attend open houses and info sessions, confirm the most up-to-date requirements, and stay on track for transfer after the second year.
