I read everything from the course calendar to minutes of Senate Committe meetings, and Lakehead's official policy (as passed by their Senate) does not include a stated maximum of credits. If anyone has experience with common practice employed by Lakehead, please share. I will email my contact at Lakehead in the meantime. Current as of May 9, 2008 as per http://admissions.lakeheadu.ca/wp/?id=60 Advanced Placement Courses and examinations may be used to determine admissibility and the granting of credit or exemption. Applicants who have achieved a minimum grade of 4 on certain advanced placement exams will be eligible to received university credit.
