- SmartStart Academic
Prepare for the academic demands of your mandatory courses. Free self-study courses are available in: Anatomy, Biology, Chemistry, Math and Physiology.
The courses were created using feedback from our professors regarding high school concepts you need to review to hit the ground running in their courses.
When you received your offer of admission, the Admissions Office may have granted you transfer credits based on information of previously evaluated equivalents. However, you may need/want to have these credits evaluated.
How do I know if I should have my transfer credits evaluated?
- If you received any TRN credits;
- If you did not receive credit for something you think you should have;
- If you think you received the wrong transfer credits.
- Obtain full electronic course outlines for the courses you want/need evaluated;
- Save each outline as its own PDF file-name the file to match the course code on your transcript;
- Send the course outlines to fnsinfo@uwo.ca;
- Monitor your Student Centre for updates to your credits (select View Transfer Credit Report).
Note it can take up to 6 weeks to have transfer credits evaluated and posted to your student centre.
