The Admissions Office will have issued you its determination in a letter, in the form of Transfer Credits (also known as Advanced Standing) apportioned to one or more levels of study, and as Course Credit Exclusions in certain York courses, if the previously taken courses are deemed substantially the same. Marks earned in courses taken at other institutions do not count toward your York GPA and any transfer credits do not\u202fenter into\u202fthe GPA calculation. You may not re-take the courses in which you have been awarded Course Credit Exclusion, as stipulated in the letter from Admissions. Courses in which you have Course Credit Exclusions can nevertheless serve as pre-requisites for York courses. Any transfer credits that are not Course Credit Exclusions nevertheless count in all the appropriate credit totals required in your program (total credits in all courses, total credits in Science courses, total 1000-level Science credits, total upper-year Science credits, etc.).
