Credit Transfer Guide

IOU students who have studied and completed one or more of the courses taught in online learning BAIS degrees from other accredited universities can apply for a university credits transfer or college credits transfer for these online degree programs.

Please Note

• Credits transfer (CT) differs from course waiver. Credits transfer counts as having completed the course, whereas a waiver requires the applicant to take an elective course in its place.

• Credit transfer will only be processed for the courses studied and completed with a passing grade at an accredited university or college. Credit transfers will NOT be accepted for subjects studied in schools or private institutions.
• A student can request a university credits transfer or college credits transfer for a maximum of 24 courses.

FEE STRUCTURE FOR UNIVERSITY CREDITS TRANSFER OR COLLEGE CREDITS TRANSFER

Application Processing Fee

• • A standard, non-refundable processing fee, equivalent to half the normal semester fee, is charged for the credit transfer application. (Please click here to see the semester fee for the country of your residence. For example, students from developed countries paying the semester fee of $120 would be charged $60 for a credit transfer application).
• • The credit transfer request will be processed only after the application processing fee is received by IOU.

This amount will be credited towards the credit transfer fees (see below) if the credit transfer application is found to meet the criteria and is granted. Do note, however, that if the credit transfer application does not meet the criteria and is rejected, the application processing fee will neither be refunded nor credited towards any other fee (like semester fees, etc). So please be sure that you meet the above criteria before applying for credit transfers.

Credit Transfer Fee

• The credit transfer fee is applicable only after the CT application has been accepted.
• The credit transfer fee is equivalent to the fees of one semester (per every six courses). For example, if a student requests a credit transfer for up to six courses, he/she would pay the fee which is equivalent to one semester of study. If the student requests a credit transfer for seven to twelve courses, he/she would have to pay the fees equivalent to two semesters of study.
