Transfer of credits for undergraduates

 

Students who have studied at another university may be able to transfer credits. Local and International students can transfer. If transferring from a school outside of Iraq, equalization of those credits is needed.

The following documents are required for the transfer of credits evaluation:

All course transfers will be decided by the department chair and approved by the respective dean. Transfer courses can be applied toward satisfaction of the major program degree requirements as per the department chair and dean’s approval.
