5.6 CREDIT TRANSFER

Student can apply for credit transfer if they pass the same or equivalent course or possess
experiences recognized by the faculty. Credit transfer can be granted to the student who
had passed with minimum grade of C+ according to the University grading system. The
application for credit transfer must be done within 2 weeks after the beginning of the first
semester. The policy is as follows:
a. Credit transfer is a total credit that has been approved to the student based on certain
courses taken by him/her at any other Institution of Higher Learning (IHL) either local
or overseas. All the courses taken must be recognized by the university as equivalent
and fulfill the curriculum of the chosen programme.
b. Credit transfer can be granted to the student that has taken the similar course and
pass according to the UTeM grading system provided that the course content is 80%
equivalent.
c. Educational level permitted for credit transfer must be equivalent with UTeM
educational programme curriculum in terms of academic load and credit hours
calculation.
d. With University’s permission, students are allowed to take course in other IHL and can
apply for credit transfer for those courses. The approved credit transfer will be
accounted into their GPA and CGPA calculations.
e. Students are not allowed to complete their final semester study in other IHL.
f. The approval of credit transfer application will be announced to the students by the
Academic Management Division (BPA). Granted credit transfer courses are recorded
in the Sistem Maklumat Pelajar (SMP).

NOTE:
Any conflict in the interpretation of the above mentioned policy must be referred to the
The Academic Rules and Regulations for the Bachelor Degree and Diploma Programs.
