Some courses may transfer as advanced credit, meaning they directly replace specific university courses, while others may count as general credit toward elective or degree requirements.
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.
