Anyone else do this from Canada?

For Canada, you can ladder your McMaster Accounting diploma by taking an extra year at McMaster or a community college and transferring those courses to Athabasca U in Alberta.  This will allow you to get a Bachelors of General Studies, Concentration in Applied Studies (90 credits).

As I said before, no it won't. If they taught you in Accounting that 33+30 = 90, then demand your money back. Two further aspects that should be pointed out are:

(1) If you get one of these McMaster credentials, there's a caveat - at least there were caveats on the two I earned. (I'm not sure I was aware of ALL the caveats until I got the credits - it was a while back...)

The credits you earned for these credentials (at least back then) were strictly McMaster credits - your mileage might vary if you submitted them elsewhere. And at McMaster, (my letter said) they were only good for related studies - e.g. your business diploma may (note the weasel word) entitle you to so many credits towards a McMaster business degree (providing such credit was approved in your individual admission, by the B-school people). And I think my credits for a writing certificate were solely restricted to - you guessed it - an English degree, i.e. guaranteed iron-clad unemployment claim, at least in that time and place. (It didn't really matter - I was already retired.)

(2) So many Americans (well, OK - at least one in this forum) assume (wrongly) that because their Community Colleges share their RA status along with Universities, ours must follow suit. WRONG! Our Co-Cos, in several provinces, are largely non-degree granting. So universities can (and do) make it up as they go along, as to what credit they will grant for Canadian Community College studies. I had a good GPA in CoCo, earned a two-year diploma via night school and when it came to University applications, I was allowed credit for the CoCo diploma that varied from "time served" (2 years), from both American (RA) and Canadian schools -  to zip-nada-bupkes from others. 

There has been progress to developing a usable framework of transfer pathways in the last 20 years - but it's still somewhat of a crapshoot and nothing like the pretty predictable all-RA situation in the US. I wish it were. 

Never assume.
