Description

I have previously completed some Courses at an institution. How will credit transfer work if some of the Courses I completed are not available in this different institution?

Resolution

Here are a few use cases of credit transfers. Let's assume that RIO Institution has "Foreign Language" in one of their degrees:

Foreign Language (6 credit hours):

• Japanese (3 credit hours).
• Spanish (3 credit hours).
• Portuguese (3 credit hours).
• Korean (3 credit hours).

Use case #1: Credit transfer for Courses that the institution supports

Sarah has done the Japanese Course from another institution.

RIO Institution recognizes this, creates a credit transfer, and links that to it's own Japanese Course.

Use case #2: Credit transfer for Courses that the institution does not support

Sarah has done the Chinese - Mandarin Course from another institution.

Even though RIO Institution has no Chinese - Mandarin Course, it recognizes this and Sarah has a credit transfer of 3 credit hours under the "Foreign Language" requirement.

She just needs to do another 3 more credit hours by selecting one of the Courses offered in the same requirement.
