Transfer of Undergraduate Credits

GUtech welcomes applicants transferring from recognised and/or accredited institutions in Oman and abroad.

Recognising credit points or credit hours bearing courses you completed at another recognised institution requires us to map out the learning outcomes of these courses to specific courses in your chosen undergraduate programme at GUtech. This process is called credit transfer.

A maximum of 120 academic credit points can be transferred.

Credit Transfer Steps 

Step 1: Apply for admission through the online application form to verify that you meet the general admission requirements.

Step 2: Fill out the “Application Form for Credit Transfer” that you should download here.

Step 3: Pay for the non-refundable and non-transferable fee of OMR 50 for the assessment of each course you want us to assess for credit transfer.

Step 4: Send us the form that you filled out (see step 2), the syllabus (course description/outlines) of courses courses you want us to assess as listed in the form, and the official transcripts showing credits completed and grades received with a detailed explanation of the grading system of your previous school.

Please note:

You have to get your official transcript, if issued outside Oman, approved by the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation (MOHERI) before applying for credit transfer.
