• They meet the secondary school requirements for admission at EAC.
• They meet the English language proficiency requirements of EAC.
• They submit official transcripts of their secondary school and University/university records along with syllabi and description of courses they wish to transfer. Courses taken more than five years prior to applying as an undergraduate student at EAC are not transferable. Furthermore, of the total credits required to obtain a degree at EAC, a maximum of 50 percent of the required total credits can be transferred from other institutions of higher education.
• Complete and submit course equivalence application forms for the courses to be transferred.
• Pay the appropriate fees.

Transfer Credits (Course Equivalency)
A transfer applicant will receive credit for the courses he/she had completed at the previous institute of higher education provided that:

• His/her cumulative grade point average is above 2.0.
• He/she had obtained a grade of ‘C’ or better in the courses that are considered for equivalency.
• The courses completed at the previous institute have equivalent courses in the student’s proposed programme of study at EAC. This includes the number of credit hours, contents, and level of the course.
• He/she completes the transfer application and submits all the necessary supporting documents to the Admission and Registration Office during the time frame outlined in the academic calendar.

All transfer students must complete their transfer file to ensure that the transfer credits are awarded to them during their first semester at EAC. Decisions pertaining to credits awarded can be made only by the appropriate Academic Departments at EAC. The Admission and Registration Office will communicate the outcome of the evaluation to the student. Transferred courses are not included in the calculation of student’s Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).
