I'd just like to point out that not all anti-requisites can count as transferable credit (they may or may not). Anything that is a
cross-list should be fine.
For instance, First year anatomy is cross-listed as Kin 1A03 and 1AA3 (For Kinesiology I students) and Kin 1Y03 and 1YY3 (For everyone else). These courses are called cross-listed because they operate at the same times, and cover identical material and are literally the same course, being called two different names.
However, Kin 1A03/1AA3/1Y03/1YY3 is an anti-requisite for Med Phys 4XX3 (Human Biology for Physical Scientists). These are called anti-requisites because they contain much of the same material, but are ultimately different courses. Med Phys for instance, covers how and why the body reacts the way it does, to radiation, whereas Kin does not....but Kin goes into far more depth regarding muscle origins, insertions and other stuff that can't be covered in a single semester (or that medical physicians don't care quite as much about).
Take home point: Even though these courses are 'similar,' they're different enough to prevent anyone who's taken Med Phys 4XX3 from passing into Level 2 Kin (unless the student chooses to waive credit in 4XX3 and take Kin 1A/1AA...which is ultimately a waste of time). This is because Level 2 Kin requires very specific knowledge that's left out of the Med Phys course.
But this is only one such example...there are some cases where anti-reqs are 'close enough' to transfer credit. Go talk to a counsellor before taking any anti-requisites.
