Information on Transfer of Credits
For Transfer Student: We would like to provide information about credit transfer to give you some idea which of the courses you took at your previous institution may or may not be granted credits at ICU.
| 1. Courses Eligible for Transfer of Credits |
|---|
Students who have completed courses at other universities before entering ICU may transfer those credits if the courses are considered equivalent to courses offered at ICU, and are approved as being applicable towards ICU graduation requirements, and if the grades received were 70 points or higher out of 100.
*NOTE: Credit transfers will be granted only after students complete the required procedures after entering ICU. How many and which credits are transferrable will not be confirmed until then. |
| 2. Maximum Number of Credits that can be transferred |
Students who spent more than 1 year at other universities may transfer up to 60 credits, subject to the following category limits: up to 12 credits of General Education Courses, 1 credit of Health and Physical Education Lecture Courses, 1 credit of Health and Physical Education Exercise Courses, 9 credits of Foundation Courses, and 41 credits of Elective Courses may be transferred.
