Comprehensive Arts and Science (CAS) Transfer: College-University program provides you with the opportunity to complete courses for which you can gain credit from College of the North Atlantic and Memorial University of Newfoundland. It has been developed through an agreement with Memorial; courses identified in this section are developed in collaboration with Memorial’s respective departments. In the areas of curriculum content and testing methodologies, these courses are identical. Students who successfully complete any of our CAS Transfer courses will receive a transfer of credit to the corresponding course at Memorial: your CNA transcript will reflect the numerical grade you receive; however, on a Memorial transcript the course will reflect a transfer credit statement (no numeric grade).
 
Notes: 
i. Please check the course offerings available at the campus you plan to attend.
ii. Please check course prerequisites and co-requisites during advising/confirmation of enrolment.  Course prerequisites and co-requisites must be met in order to confirm registration in the course.
iii. Students intending to apply to programs at Memorial that are competitive and selective may be required to complete courses that reflect a numerical grade, i.e. courses that MUST be completed at Memorial only. Please check with specific departments at Memorial regarding their admission eligibility requirements.

These introductory courses are designed for students intending to transfer to university after completion of their first year at College of the North Atlantic.
 

OBJECTIVES

  1. To enhance student access to courses that earn both University and College credits.
  2. To provide an opportunity for students to gain University course credit at locations close to their home communities.
  3. To allow students to choose career paths with maximum recognition of credit for work completed.

REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPLETION

In order to complete the requirements of the Comprehensive Arts and Science Transfer: College-University Certificate program, students must complete 10 courses from the CAS Transfer: College-University suite of courses with a minimum Grade Point Average of 2.00.
 
Note: For purposes of completion of the Certificate, MA1670 Statistics and EP1110 Introduction to Business may also be included in the CAS Transfer: College-University suite of courses. Students must also meet all qualification requirements for the awarding of a Certificate from the college.
 
Maximum number of CAS Transfer: College-University courses per semester (i.e. Fall; Winter) is five.

(Calculus I)		 A grade of 50% or greater in Math 3200 and at least 75% on the MPT1 OR
 
A grade of 50% or greater in MA1104
MA1131
(Calculus II)		 A grade of 50% or greater in MA1130 or an acceptable score on the Calculus Placement Test (CPT)
 
  • Students who score below 40% on the MPT must successfully complete both MA10402 and MA10412 before being permitted to register for a CAS Transfer mathematics course. 
  • Students who obtain a mark between 40% and 49% on the MPT must satisfactorily complete MA10412 before registering for MA1120 or MA1121. 
  • Students who obtain a mark between 40% and 54% on the MPT must satisfactorily complete MA10412 before registering for MA1104.
