Articulation Agreements & Transfer Pathways
An Articulation Agreement or Transfer Pathway is a specific program-to-program arrangement between OCAD U and another post-secondary institution. Each agreement or pathway is unique and has terms and conditions that must be met to receive pre-approved transfer credits. Students who apply through this category might not need to submit a portfolio and could graduate in 2 to 3 years.
Applications for admission are made online through the Ontario Universities' Application Centre using the appropriate articulation agreement program code.
