There are many types of "credit transfers," but one of the most common is when a credit institution delivers money to an individual's accounts in answer to a payer's request. One or both of the following may be used for credit transfers: a transaction account, a payment account, a separate "Other" source of money, or a combination of the three. Suppose you want to start an electronic credit transfer. In that case, you may use any of the following: your primary checking/savings/savings account, another payment account, another "account," another source of cash, or any combination of these.
Apply for a Credit Transfer
The ability to transfer credits from one authorized post-secondary school to another is known as credit transfer. There are no transferable creditsfor courses completed at independent vocational or seminary institutions or for academic upgrading or general interest. All certificates can't be used to fulfill or more than 75% of a degree program's requirements.
Is it possible for me to participate?
To become eligible for transfer credits, you must first accept an offer of admission from the school you are applying for credit transfer.
To be eligible for credit transfer, core courses must meet the following criteria:
- In terms of content and learning outcomes, they are at least 80 percent comparable. See our student self-evaluation guide to find out whether your prior course(s) might be considered equal.
- If a course was completed at a different institution, a passing grade of 60% or above is required to apply for credit transfer. A pass mark in the subject sought is required for previously completed courses.
- The number of hours of training should be equivalent (or nearly equal) to the number of hours spent on the topic. The topic content of a course must be distinct from the subject matter required for the system for it to be counted in a student's grade point average.
- Within the previous five years, all finished courses must be completed. Classes finished and over five years earlier may be presented. Still, suppose significant changes have occurred in practice or standards, policies or regulations, or advanced technologies requirements after their completion. In that case, they may be denied on the grounds of their advancing age. In most circumstances, education courses are exempt from the five-year limit.
