Transfer Credits in Armenia — what to verify
A receiving faculty needs evidence of the content, level, learning outcomes, assessment, and results of previous study. Similar module names do not prove equivalence. AUA’s published policies include transfer-credit information; use the applicable policy alongside the programme’s academic advice.
Evidence to collect before deciding
Collect your transcript and detailed syllabuses, then request a preliminary assessment if the institution offers one. Ask which credits satisfy compulsory requirements, which count only as electives, and which do not transfer. Obtain a degree-completion plan rather than relying on a single total-credit figure.
Example: applying the guidance
Two students can transfer the same number of credits yet need different amounts of remaining study. One may have completed required foundational modules; the other may hold mostly unrelated electives. The sequence of prerequisites can prevent finishing earlier even when credits are accepted.
A mistake that can change the outcome
Avoid withdrawing from your current institution on the assumption that a verbal transfer estimate guarantees a particular study year. Wait for the relevant admission and credit decisions and understand any conditions.
Your next-step checklist
Use this checklist to turn the decision into a small set of verifiable actions. Record the answer, its date, and the person or official page that supplied it. Resolve any missing item before relying on the plan.
- Collect official transcripts and module descriptions.
- Separate admission approval from credit approval.
- Ask how credits meet degree requirements.
- Obtain a remaining-study and cost plan.
Common questions
Does admission guarantee all my credits transfer?
No. The receiving institution may assess credits separately and apply programme-specific conditions.
Can I estimate transfer using course titles?
Use titles to organise the request, but provide content and assessment evidence for the academic decision.
