Create a Study Plan and Submit it to Your Home Institution

Before embarking on your study abroad program, it’s essential to create a detailed study plan. This plan should outline the courses you intend to take abroad and should be presented to your home institution's exchange coordinator, academic advisor, or relevant professor for approval. Each institution has its own policies regarding credit transfer, and your home institution will have the final say on which credits can be transferred.

Understanding Credit Transfer Systems

Credit transfer systems can differ greatly between institutions around the world, even within the same country. Therefore, it’s important to discuss the process with your home institution well in advance. Here are some tips to guide you:

1.Keep Course Materials and Documents

After completing your courses at the host university, ensure you retain all important documents such as syllabi, exams, and assignments. These will be helpful when applying for credit transfer after your program ends. We will send you an official transcript from the host institution once your study abroad program is complete.

2.Use Your Transcript for Credit Transfer

You will need your host university's transcript to apply for credit transfer at your home institution. The number of credits you can transfer will depend on your academic performance, the workload of your courses, and how your home institution evaluates the completed courses.

Three Key Steps for Successful Credit Transfer

1.Create and Pre-approve Your Study Plan:

Work with your exchange coordinator, academic advisor, or professor at your home institution to get pre-approval for the courses you intend to take abroad. Use the course catalogue and syllabi available on our website when developing your plan. In some cases, your advisor may require you to present course syllabi for approval.

2.Attend and Pass Your Courses:

It’s your responsibility to attend all classes and complete the necessary coursework to earn passing grades. Missing classes or failing courses will prevent you from receiving credits that can be transferred. Remember, attendance is often mandatory, including business visits and seminars. Be sure to keep all notes, course materials, and assessments to support your credit transfer application.

3.Receive and Use Your Transcript:

Once your program ends, the host institution will send your transcript to us, and we will forward it to you. This process can take a few months, as host institutions must follow strict procedures when issuing transcripts. We appreciate your patience during this time.

Important Considerations

●In Case of Credit Transfer Denial:

If your home institution denies credit transfer for certain courses, don’t be discouraged. Credit transfer policies vary between departments and institutions, and every academic advisor has their own criteria. If disagreements arise, don’t hesitate to seek advice from other officials. Keep in mind that the official transcript will be available within a few months.

●Based on Global Standards:

These guidelines are based on credit transfer practices established by universities in Europe, the Americas, and other parts of the world. Thousands of students have successfully transferred credits with the help of these guidelines.By preparing a detailed study plan and working closely with your home institution, you can ensure a smooth credit transfer process, allowing your study abroad experience to count towards your academic goals.
