Transfer Student Applications
Transfer to Emily Carr University and bring your course credits with you.
If you are an academic, fine art, design, or media arts-based student with credits earned from another post-secondary institution, you may be eligible for first year transfer credit or able to transfer into second or third year at Emily Carr University.
We welcome university-level transfer applicants from a variety of post-secondary institutions in addition to our partners listed below. Second and third-year undergraduate transfer applicants will be considered on a space availability basis.
If you are a first-year applicant, and you possess previous studies, please submit those official transcripts with your application. Your official transcripts will be reviewed for transfer credit that fits your desired major.
