“I was able to receive some transfer credits from my previous degree going towards my current degree at Sheridan. That really freed up a lot of time for myself in terms of being able to focus just on core courses which was a wonderful advantage. It saved me a lot of time and allowed me to work part time as well.”

– Pia Supino-Mayka, Honours Bachelor of Illustration

  • “Transferring my university & college credits was an easy and smooth process with faculty helping me through. Sheridan gave me the opportunity to complete my degree quicker while getting the full experience Sheridan offers.”

    – Sierra Johnson, Bachelor of Business Administration – Marketing

    “I got admitted into York University and I give all the credit to Sheridan for that. Having a Paralegal diploma from Sheridan and an ESL certificate was the foundation to succeed at university. Without it, I would not be where I am today.”

    – Athra Walied, English as a Second Language and Paralegal

    “I had all this foundational knowledge, but I didn’t really have the skills or the experience as a reporter to get that job, so that’s what led me to Sheridan.”

    – Charlsie Agro, Journalism – New Media

    “I gained a lot of information about the career opportunities that are available for me and I decided that (after completing a Sheridan diploma and then degree) a masters and further education was the route I wanted to go.”

    – Ryan Schick, General Arts & Sciences – Health Profile and Honours Bachelor of Applied Health Sciences – Athletic Therapy

    “I had enough credentials (credits) to bridge directly into year 3. The degree completion basically introduces all concepts and the ideas you need to be in year 2 or year 3 of the program.”

    – Sarah Qureshi, Honours Bachelor of Applied Information Sciences (Information Systems Security)
