I’m looking to transfer over to western as a post secondary transfer student how many credits would I need to be evaluated fully as a transfer student I’m looking to finish up my first year there
I’m a transfer student. To my understanding there’s no minimum but the maximum is two years’ worth of your degree. Some advice: schedule frequent academic advising appointments throughout your degree to 1) ensure that your transfer credit assessment was complete (believe it or not, mine wasn’t finished and I didn’t find out until I took 2 unnecessary courses) and 2) to be 100% sure you’re in the right courses needed to graduate.
I’ve transferred schools twice and if there’s anything I’ve learned it’s that the only person who’s advocating for you is YOU. The people in these positions do not care about you and will not follow up; that’s your job. Don’t just assume it’ll all be taken care of!!
i’m transferring to another school from western and i’m just wondering what typical average someone needs to have to be able to transfer. I’m currently in medsci trying to transfer to mac life sci
That’s completely dependent on the program you’re transferring into. You’d be best to speak with an academic advisor at the school you’re transferring to. Every scenario is different
So I would have 27 credits by the end of my winter term which would be equivalent 4.5 credits at western so they would evaluate me as a post secondary transfer? I’m just worried because my high school grades were poor and I would just like to know if it’s necessary to add one more course to get to 5.0 credits
I can’t answer your other questions but do note that Western will look at your most relevant grades. If your college courses are equivalent to 12U courses or to university courses then those will be used for admission.
If you complete a full year of post secondary, high school grades are not necessary except for hard pre-reqs like Engineering, Health Sci, Kin, nursing, etc.

They will look at post secondary and your program admission requirements which could be high school. Best to reach out to admissions to confirm.
