- Approval of transfer credits shall be at the discretion of the Faculty who will consider such factors as the distribution requirements, level of course, age of credits, number of courses in one area, and range of preparation in undergraduate degree. Students may be asked to provide a course outline for any transfer course.
- The Integration Seminar, Internship, and Learning Circle requirements, while normally upheld, are also at the discretion of the Faculty depending on previous experience and the content of the previous degree.

- Foreign credit assessment for all our programs is done internally at College of Emmanuel & St. Chad. If the expertise is not available among our faculty then faculty in the country from which the credits originate are asked to evaluate the credits and provide academic assessment. We are able to use this process due to the small size of our student population. In the case where faculty, from the country of credit origin are not available, we will make use of the University of Saskatchewan Credential Assessment Service.
