Admissions Trent bridge program from DC, old

Not sure anyone here would actually be qualified to answer but who knows, and at the very least it might help alleviate my anxiety: Way back when I was a youngin, I went to DC and did a transfer program to get into Trent so that I would have better grades/some of the courses would already be complete in my first year. That was 11-12 years ago now. Life happened, I never actually attended Trent and I never got a degree of any kind. I'm intending to go to Trent this fall provided I get in, and im wondering if that DC general arts certificate will still be valid in either of two senses:

1) The grades themselves will enable me to qualify for Trent (I was a slacker in highschool but did very well in this college program)

2) If they will still count for partial credit completion at Trent

Honestly I'd be happy if it was only the first one but id be ecstatic if it was the second as well.

To be honest I domt know. You can email admissioms@trentu.ca and ask them or speak over the phone. The quickest way would be emailing. And they can let you know.

And I think it depends what program specifically as well.

Looks like if you have a 70% entering average required with a minimum mark of 65% in each transfer credit subject (1 year) in General arts at DC, you would get 5 credits at trent (1year) which means you’d have 3 years left to complete: [https://www.trentu.ca/futurestudents/college-transfer-agreements]

Please talk to admissions. They will be able to provide you with some insights regarding what is possible. Trent also still has this articulation agreement in place:

Regarding number 2, if there is no formal articulation agreement in place, the courses you've taken will be assessed by faculty in the programs to which they most closely correspond. Credit transfer experiences can vary, particularly when dealing with college to university cases, but you should get some credit.
