TMU Fashion students — did anyone know that host schools for outbound exchange require specific TMU prerequisite courses for eligibility?
I am completing a concentration in fashion design and applied to AMFI, AMD, and Kingston University for their semester exchange Fashion Design programs, but only during the questionnaire stage was I sent a document (“Fashion Exchange Partners – Course Review”) stating that these programs require courses like FFD 213, FFD 410, and FFD 324 to qualify.
I’ve been preparing for outbound exchange since July 2025 (10+ months). I researched literally every publicly available TMU Creative School exchange page, attended the info session, reviewed the slides, researched host schools/programs, and studied the Profile Chart.
I could not find this information anywhere beforehand, not on the exchange website, profile charts, or in the info session materials.
Because of this, I only found out late in the process that I was missing FFD 324, which also requires FSN 124 first.
Did anyone else know about these requirements beforehand? If so, where was this information available? Or has anyone else run into this issue?
