In summary, credit hours are a unit of measurement used to track a student's time spent in coursework. A credit hour transfer policy outlines the rules for transferring credits between institutions, which usually requires official transcripts and course descriptions. Not all credit hours are transferable, as each institution has its own requirements and some programs may have specific transfer requirements. Credits from non-accredited institutions may not be accepted by accredited institutions.

FAQ: Transferring Credit Hours to Cambridge: What You Need to Know

What is a credit hour?

A credit hour is a unit of measurement that represents the amount of time a student spends in a classroom or engaged in course-related activities. In most cases, one credit hour is equivalent to one hour of classroom instruction per week for a semester.

What is a credit hour transfer policy?

A credit hour transfer policy outlines the rules and regulations for transferring credits earned at one institution to another. This policy is important for students who have completed coursework at one school and wish to transfer those credits to another school to continue their education.

How do credit hours transfer between institutions?

Credit hours can transfer between institutions when the receiving institution recognizes the coursework completed at the previous institution as equivalent to their own. This typically requires the student to provide official transcripts and course descriptions to the new institution for evaluation.

Are all credit hours transferable?

No, not all credit hours are transferable. Each institution has its own credit hour requirements and may not accept credits from another institution if they do not meet their standards. Additionally, some programs or courses may have specific requirements for transfer credits.

Can I transfer credit hours from a non-accredited institution?

In most cases, credits earned at a non-accredited institution will not transfer to an accredited institution. Accreditation is an important factor in determining the quality and rigor of a school's curriculum, so accredited institutions may not recognize credits from non-accredited schools.
