Credit Transfer

Guidelines on Credit Transfer

Granting of credit transfer is mainly based on the subject contents and the learning outcomes attained. The subject contents attained should be at least 75% similar to the PolyU subjects of a similar level, credits and contact hours.

The grade/mark requirement is presented in the table below.

Subject Type	Grade/mark requirement
Subjects taken *within* PolyU	Grade B- or above credit transfer will be granted with the grade being carried over (the grade transfer is applicable only if the equivalent subject and the credit transfer subject are the same subject)
Subjects taken *within* PolyU	Grade C- or above credit transfer will be granted without the grade being carried over
Subjects taken *outside* PolyU	Grade C- / 50% or above credit transfer will be granted without the grade being carried over

Entry Credit Transfer

Students holding A-Level or IB qualifications may be given credit transfer upon their admission to the 4-year full-time undergraduate degree schemes/programmes. Normally, they will be given credit transfer from 9 credits (including 6 credits for the broadening subjects and 3 credits for University English under the Language & Communication Requirements) to a maximum of 25% of the award requirements, depending on their previous study and grade attainments.

For students admitted based on other qualifications, the number of credit transfer to be granted at admission will be considered on individual merits.

For students admitted to senior year of our 4-year full-time undergraduate degree programme, they will follow a reduced curriculum of 60 to 75 credits, and further credit transfer will not be possible.
