Overview

Graduate students at York University, with the permission of their graduate program director, may apply to enroll in a graduate course at another institution across Canada (Canadian University Graduate Transfer Agreement also known as CUGTA).

• The student must be pursuing a graduate degree program at York University, in good standing having completed at least one term, and enrolled as a full-time student for the terms concerned;
• The course requested must satisfy a mandatory degree requirement; and
• The course requirement must not be possible to satisfy at York University (e.g., it is not available or it cannot be offered in a timely fashion at York University).

Request forms must be submitted to the student’s HOME institution Graduate Program Director no later than 8 weeks prior to the term during which they wish to attend the HOST university. The student must ensure the HOST institution receives the Request Form at least one month prior to the start of the term. This timeline guarantees timely and accurate processing of the application. There are no exceptions to this timeline. Students must send confirmation of registration and notice of any changes to the HOME institution at the time of registration/changes.
