Students intending to use St. Stephen's College degrees towards further higher education or for registration with professional counselling or other associations, in or outside of Canada, should be aware of the requirements of the institution, association, or country they wish to apply that education toward. A number of theological colleges throughout Canada accept transfer credits from St. Stephen's College; however, public universities usually do not accept transfer credits from divinity schools. Students planning to transfer to other institutions should be aware of the specific program requirements at that institution.
