Once you have applied, the Office of the Registrar can check your previous coursework from another institution to see if it is equivalent to what your program needs.
Provide your official transcripts to have your previous coursework evaluated. We will compare grades from your previous education with your program’s requirements. If we need more information, we may ask you to submit a course outline (or syllabus) for the course we need to check.

Are you trying to meet admission requirements at NorQuest College and your course code from another province is not listed? We may ask you to provide a course syllabus or other information so that we can see if the course is equivalent.
International high school credentials
When you apply to a post-secondary program at NorQuest, we base your admission on your education at the senior secondary/high school level, or higher. If you completed your education in another country, you must submit your official documents and credentials that show coursework equivalent to the admission requirements.
Your official documents must be submitted directly to NorQuest College by the issuing institution. If not, your results must be independently verifiable online. See Transcripts for more information and for details about requesting conditional admission with unofficial transcripts.
Refer to the requirements below for the country in which you completed high school. You may also submit other documents if they provide more information about your previous coursework. In some cases, we may need official examination certificates as well as high school transcripts.

Frequently asked questions
I was homeschooled. Can my coursework be evaluated?
Yes. After you apply, you will need to send in your transcripts and detailed course outlines for required subjects so that we can evaluate your coursework.
I've already studied at the post-secondary level. Can my post-secondary coursework be reviewed for equivalencies?
Yes. Even if your post-secondary coursework is not directly equivalent, we may be able to accept it if it is deemed to be at a higher level than what your NorQuest program needs. After you apply, you should submit all of your high school and post-secondary transcripts for evaluation.
I took Language Arts courses in a language other than English. Are my courses equivalent?
Possibly. NorQuest College usually considers Language Arts or Literature courses at an appropriate grade level to be acceptable instead of -2 stream (non-academic) Language Arts courses in Alberta. For example, a Grade 12 Language Arts course in French could be accepted for meeting an English Language Arts 30-2 requirement for most programs.
Communications courses and courses designed for second-language learners are not acceptable for meeting language arts admission requirements.
What are my options if my previous coursework is not considered equivalent to what my NorQuest program needs?
Your options may include writing an academic assessment to show that you meet requirements, taking a course through our Academic Upgrading program, and/or selecting an alternate program for which you do meet the requirements. See Options for admission for more information.
