Transfer Credits

Students can normally transfer courses taken at other universities.

The courses considered for transfer are evaluated by the Department Curriculum Committee (DCC) and faculty members who teach these courses. The recommendation of DCC is sent to the Chair who in turn sends it to the Dean. The grades for the transferred courses are not included in the GPA and instead a pass grade is assigned to these courses.

Procedure

A grade of C or higher is required for transferring courses to CCIT. To begin the process a student must fill out the online form and provide a transcript and the official course syllabi to the department. The following process then takes place:

  1. The Chair consults the faculty who had taught the course.
  2. The faculty and curriculum committee review the submitted supporting documents and submit the recommendation to the Chair who in turn submits the recommendation to the Dean.
  3. Once approved by the Dean, a course equivalence certificate is then submitted to the Deanship of Admission and Registration.
