What if an Athabasca University course is not equivalent to any CISC course?
Some Athabasca courses are not equivalent to any Queen's CISC course, but are acceptable as "unspecified" computing courses at a particular level. A course that transfers as CISC 2UNS can be used to satisfy a requirement for a CISC course at the 200 level or above; 3UNS for 300-level and above, and 4UNS for 400-level and above. The following courses have been evaluated as of February, 2023:
- 2UNS: COMP 214, 348, 435
- 3UNS: none yet known
- 4UNS: COMP 418, 452, 494
