Transfer Credits' Effect On Your GPA

Credits accepted for transfer only transfer as earned credits without a grade and therefore do not affect a student’s CGPA.

 

Transferring Credits from UR to Other Institutions

The transferability of credits and credentials is at the complete discretion of the institution to which you seek to transfer and may include a transfer fee.

 

Cost of Transferring Credits

UR  will evaluate your transferred credits for free. This means you can find out how many credits transfer towards your degree at absolutely no cost.

You can then decide how many approved courses you would like to transfer. We charge $17 for each course transferred to UR. Although other universities also do not charge you for this process, they will still charge you for tuition fees – and UR is tuition-free! If you cannot afford the fee, we may have a grant available. If none of your credits qualify for transfer, you will not be charged for this.

 

Timeline and Procedure

How do I transfer credits?

Once you apply, you will have a dedicated Admissions Advisor who will take you hand in hand into your first course with a maximum amount of credits already in your pocket. This is how it will work:

  • After you have submitted your short online application, log in to the UR Portal, where you will be able to choose whether you want to transfer any credits.
  • If you choose to transfer credits, you will then be able to submit your transfer credit request by simply uploading your documents to the UR Portal. Your Admissions Advisor can help you in this step.
  • Once you have submitted your transfer credit request, the transfer credit team will review and evaluate your request, usually within 48 hours. You will be notified of the transfer credit team’s decision regarding your request via the UR Portal and email.
  • You will then pay $17 for every approved course.
  • All transfer credit fees for applicants need to be paid by the Application Deadline to be eligible to study in the upcoming term.
  • If you have not completed your transfer credit request after 7 days, we will close the request to allow you to save your spot in the upcoming term. If you still want to submit a transfer request, you will be able to do so as a student.
