Transfer Credit !
Hey, I was wondering about credit transfer, in my offer of admission I got this condition "Transfer credit for MATH 1Z04 is conditional upon maintaining at least an 'A' in A-Level Math"
Ok now I got the 'A' in math and I sent my results to McMaster but what do I do next? Shall I just not select "MATH 1Z04" in my courses registration in SOLAR or I have to get something from McMaster that says I dont have to register for MATH 1Z04 ??
Any one got an answer for that?
Thanks ...

I would suggest calling the Office of the Registrar and then your Faculty Office. See what they both say. Hopefully they're the same!

I have a feeling it is similar to the same process that you would go through taking a course at a university, but I'm not sure because you're entering first year.

Transfer credits are credits that you got somewhere other than McMaster. These credits are approved by McMaster and can go towards your degree. So if you need 120 credits to graduate, you now only need 114 in your 4 years.

Basically you get those credits for free because you have already done approved work that is considered equivalent to the amount needed to complete those courses.
