Credit Transfer Facility at Online Institutes

Recently a number of online institutions have been witnessed to have introduced thorough credit transfer policies that allows their students to apply for credit transfers for courses already studied from their institution program.Many online institutions today accept credit transfer requests for all courses that have been previously studied by the students. If a course from an online institution’s program has already been studied by the student, the equivalent credit hours will be reduced from the program and the student will not have to study that course again. This will reduce the total time required for the online study program and the tuition fee of the program.Online study credit transfers will allow students wanting to switch to one institution from other institutions, to have all their earned credits added to the study program at an online institution. Similarly, if students earned some credits previously in any institution but quit the program for any reasons, those credits will also be transferable to the particular online institution’s study program.Moreover, if students took some independent courses, trainings, have significant work experience or prior learning that is relevant to the high school diploma, credits for that course will also be transferred.The online institutions offering credit transfer facility will assess all relevant credits obtained through testing programs or educational institutions, whether on a quarter or calendar system, based on their equivalent level to a specific online course.These comprehensive credit transfer policies of various online institutions serves as a welcoming gesture towards students who wish to include their previous education & training towards their current academics to save time and money.
