Ã山ǿ¼é

Students may take three or, exceptionally, six credits at another Quebec university while paying tuition to Ã山ǿ¼é without having to formally register at the other university; see Quebec Inter-University Transfer Agreement. Students in Satisfactory Standing apply for IUT on the . If approved, the student is responsible for applying to and following the requirements and deadlines of the host university. Upon successful completion of the course(s) (minimum grade of C), the credits will be recognized by Ã山ǿ¼é as pass/fail toward the student's degree. The grade received at the host institution will not appear on the student's Ã山ǿ¼é transcript and will therefore not have an impact on the student's GPA. Students seeking to take a required course as IUT must ensure that the course is deemed equivalent. Under the IUT agreement, grades are automatically sent from the other Quebec University to Ã山ǿ¼é. Note that failed grades at the host university are recorded as failures on the Ã山ǿ¼é transcript.

Students wishing to take a course at another educational institution outside of Quebec must apply for Study Away on Minerva (students who wish to take university courses within Quebec apply for IUT, see above). The student is responsible for applying to and following the requirements and deadlines of the host university. Study away generally applies to:

• U0 students wishing to complete CHEM 212 (generally taken in Summer session of U0) in their home province/country. They may apply for this option as long as they are in Satisfactory Standing and have found a course that has been deemed equivalent to Ã山ǿ¼é’s course).
• Students in Satisfactory Standing wishing to complete an elective or other required course (that has been deemed equivalent) at another university outside Quebec.

On successful completion of the course (minimum grade of C), the student must ensure that the Nursing Student Affairs Office (NSAO) receives an official transcript from the educational institution.

The following steps apply to Study Away:

1. Ensure that the institution where you wish to study is outside of Quebec. If it is a Quebec institution, follow the procedure for Inter-University Transfer credits (IUTs) instead.
2. Make sure that you are in satisfactory standing at Ã山ǿ¼é. If yes, then you are eligible for study away; if not, then you must take the course at Ã山ǿ¼é.
3. Find a course that is equivalent to the required course at the university/college you want to attend; see the . Any course not found in the Course Equivalency must be assessed by the respective department (e.g., Physiology, Chemistry). Submit a new request for this assessment using the link provided; you may be required to upload a copy of the course description and/or syllabus to complete this request.
4. Once the approved equivalent has been found, find out if the course is actually offered in the session you want and whether you meet the host university criteria for visiting or special student. Avoid taking study away in the graduating term—this could delay your graduation.
5. If the above steps are all positive, then apply for Study Away from Ã山ǿ¼é on Minerva. If a letter needs to be sent from Ã山ǿ¼é, you can generate this from the Study Away module. Students are strongly urged to register for the course at Ã山ǿ¼é to ensure a space in the event that the host university refuses the student. (Don’t forget to drop the Ã山ǿ¼é course if all works out with Study Away.) If you have been approved for Study Away but decide not to go through with the course, you must cancel your Study Away application on Minerva.
6. Once Study Away is approved on Minerva, register for the course at the university/college you want to attend and then follow the admission and registration policies/procedures of that university/college.
7. Upon completion of the course, you must ensure that the NSAO receives an official transcript from the educational institution so that credits can be transferred. This arrangement must be made regardless of the grade received.
8. Allow for processing time, then verify your transcript on Minerva to ensure that the transfer credits have been processed. If they are not, contact the NSAO.
