Credit Transfer for Undergraduate Programmes

Students may be given credits for recognised previous studies, which will count towards meeting the requirements for their degrees. The granting of credit transfer is subject to specific criteria, including the validity period of the credits, limitations on the total number of credits that can be transferred, and approval from the relevant programme and subject offering Departments. For details, please refer to the section titled "Subject Exemption and Credit Transfer" under "Subject Registration" in the Student Handbook.

Typical Sources of Credit Transfer

Previous Academic Qualifications: Students may transfer credits earned from other institutions (or PolyU, if applicable) towards their degree at the University.
Public Examinations: Students who have attained a specific standard in public examinations before entering the University may be considered for credit transfer.
Outbound Activities: Students may earn credit through various outbound activities, such as exchange programmes, during their undergraduate studies at PolyU. (Please refer to the procedures for obtaining credit transfer for outbound activities here.)

The Credit Transfer Database is now available on mobile.

Credit Transfer Database (for Ug Programmes)

To assist both prospective and current undergraduate students in reviewing the transferability of their previous studies and outbound activities at PolyU, the University has developed a Credit Transfer Database.

This Database contains records on subject-to-subject credit transfers from institutional subjects and public examinations to PolyU credits. The subject-to-subject credit transfer records are available from the 2022/23 academic year onwards, while the examination-to-subject credit transfer records are available from the 2024/25 academic year.

Important notes about this Database:

Please note that the information in the Database is for reference purposes only and does not guarantee the availability of specific subjects at the University or at respective institutions. For detailed information on subject offerings, students should contact the respective subject offering Departments at PolyU or the respective institutions directly.
It is important to understand that the Database does not cover block credit transfers that lack specific subject/examination-to-subject mappings. If you have questions regarding such transfers, we advise you to consult the programme offering and subject offering Departments as needed.
Each credit transfer application is reviewed on a case-by-case basis. The records in the Database do not guarantee the approval of credit transfer applications. For subjects and examinations not listed in the Database, please submit an application for assessment. The final decision on credit transfers rests with the relevant programme and subject offering Departments.
