Credit transfer is transferring course credits that students have taken in a program to another program that leads to the award of qualifications offered by different or the same institutions. This process allows credit for the course to be calculated as part of the credit requirement for graduations of a program being followed. At UPM, on the whole, transferable credit courses are courses that are equivalent to courses in the program that lead to qualifying awards subject to several criteria such as equivalent credit loads, having a content equivalent of at least 80%, and getting at least Grade C + for the course on which the credit was transferred to the new program that the student followed.
The transfer of credit is divided into two parts:
(1) a vertical transfer from a lower program of study to a higher education program for example, a diploma to a bachelor, and
(2) a horizontal transfer involving the same degree of study as from a bachelor to a bachelor.
This credit transfer benefits the students involved by allowing them to take lower credit burdens and shorten the duration of the study. Additionally, it also provides opportunities and encourages student mobility for students to attend equivalent courses at other universities including in other countries, and transfer their course credits to meet the curriculum requirements of the home university.
