Canadian Credit Conversions

Some institutions use credit units instead of semester or quarter hours. For these institutions, refer to the back of the transcripts to learn how to convert units to semester hours. Below are some Canadian institutions and their conversions.

Canadian Institution

Unit to Semester Conversion

Brock University

  • 0.50 units = 3.00 semester hours
  • 1.00 units = 6.00 semester hours

Lakehead University

  • 0.50 units = 3.00 semester hours
  • 1.00 units = 6.00 semester hours

McMaster University

  • 0.50 units (i.e., half-year) = 3.00 semester hours
  • 1.00 units (i.e., full year) = 6.00 semester hours

Mount Saint Vincent University

  • 0.50 units = 3.00 semester hours
  • 1.00 units = 6.00 semester hours

Queen’s University

    • (0.50 units = 3.00 semester hours) + (3 lab hours/2 = 1.50 semester hours) = 4.50 semester hours

  • 0.50 units = 3.00 semester hours
  • 1.00 units = 6.00 semester hours

University of Victoria

  • 1.50 units = 3.00 semester hours
