Module Exemption

If you have completed a module at another institution that is deemed equivalent to a module offered at Taylor’s University, you may be granted a module exemption. This means you are not required to retake the exempted module. 

Credit Transfer

Credit transfer refers to credits granted to students in recognition of:

  • Previous studies at the same or lower level of qualification, or
  • Credits earned through study abroad or student exchange programmes
  • Credits earned through APEL.C (Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning for Credit Award), MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) or Micro-credentials

These approved credits count toward your current programme at Taylor’s University. You will only need to complete the remaining (balance) credits required to meet your programme’s graduation requirements.

Grades for modules granted through credit transfer or module exemption from other institutions do not contribute to your CGPA calculation at Taylor’s University. Only modules completed at Taylor’s at the same academic level, with assigned grades may be factored into your CGPA subject to meeting prescribed requirements.
