Sault College students gain the required skills for specialized career fields and successful employment, but our graduates also have the option to continue their studies to complete a degree.
Sault College actively partners with other colleges and universities to help make your continued studies easier. Our students and graduates have the opportunity to use their Sault College credential to gain admission, advanced standing, or reduce their course load through credit transfer at other institutions. Established pathways* to degrees are outlined below, but many institutions not mentioned here may still grant you credit transfer or admission.
For more pathway options that might be available to you within Ontario that do not require a formal agreement, visit Ontario's Transfer & Pathway's Guide.
