Transfer Students

Transfer Students

Students may transfer course credits into the Grenfell Business Program in one of two ways:

  1. through individual course transfers from other post-secondary institutions, or
  2. by way of existing articulation agreements with specific post-secondary institutions.

In both cases, the first step is to apply for general admission to Memorial University, which you may do here.

Once accepted to the University, you will need to request that individual course credits from your former institution be evaluated for potential transfer to Memorial University, or that you be considered for a block transfer under an existing articulation agreement (current agreements are noted below).

After your transfer credits have been assessed through Memorial’s Transfer Credit Process, your individual program requirements will be determined.

 

Active Articulation Agreements

Grenfell-CNA Articulation (Block Transfer) Agreements

Since 2016, the Grenfell Business program and the College of the North Atlantic (CNA) have had formal articulation agreements that provide pathways for CNA business graduates to complete their Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree at Grenfell Campus, Memorial University.

Graduates of CNA’s 2-year business administration and 3-year business management diploma programs may apply for Advanced Standing in Grenfell’s BBA program; specific program requirements for each of these program pathways may be reviewed in Section 7.3.6 of the Memorial University Calendar.

To apply for a Block Transfer:

  1. Apply for general admission to Memorial University (which you can do as early as March 1 each year).
  2. Upon official completion of your CNA program, YOU must request that CNA forward your official transcript to the Registrar’s Office at Memorial, where you will then be assessed for a block transfer.

If you meet the requirements of a block transfer (details below), you will be awarded an official block of credits on your Memorial transcript and may begin working toward the completion of your specific program path to the BBA.

If you do not meet the requirements of a block transfer, you will be assessed for individual course credits that may then be applied toward the completion of the BBA program.

CNA Two-Year Business Administration

To be eligible to receive a 60-credit (20 course) block transfer in the Grenfell BBA program, CNA students must have:

  1. graduated from a 2-year Business Administration diploma program
  2. a minimum average of 65% 
  3. a minimum 2.60 GPA in their diploma

Once awarded this block, students must complete an additional 60 credit hours (20 courses) as outlined below, to meet the requirements of the BBA program.

Students should note that this program may be completed in as little as 2 years (fall and winter terms) of full-time study (5 courses/semester), or they may also choose to study over a longer period of time and with lower course loads, depending on individual needs.

Students are responsible to plan and track their progress to ensure their degree requirements are being met, and are encouraged to download and maintain their specific Program Guide to aid them in this regard:
