transfer credit guidelines
If you have successfully completed units or subjects from another institution (College or University) either in
Thailand or overseas or from a different degree at RSU, you may apply for credit transfer that may reduce the
time you take to complete your current degree.
Requirements for Credit Transfer
Students are required to fill-up the Application Form for Request of Credit Transfer available at the Registrar’s
Office or download the form below this page. The application form must be submitted together with the
Transcript of Records from previous institution, together with and a detailed course description of all subjects
taken.
If transcripts and other documentation are in a language other than English, they must be translated by a
certified translator together with certified copies of the original documents.
Evaluation of Credit Transfer
The Committee of credit transfer from the faculty of the student will evaluate all subjects being applied for
credit transfer. The subjects eligible for credit transfer must either be an exact equivalent or of higher credit
value and with a grade of C and above.
The students are allowed to transfer a maximum of 75% of the total credits from the current program he/she
is studying. For example, if a student is taking a program with a total number of 120 credits, then the student
can only transfer a maximum of 90 credits (75% of 120 credits = 90 credits) from his/her previous institution
although he/she could have more than 90 credits eligible for credit transfer.
Processing Time for Credit Transfer
Normally it takes about one month for the faculty to evaluate the subjects eligible for credit transfer. When the
Registrar’s Office receives the report from the faculty, it will evaluate and approve the total number of credits
that can be transferred.
Afterwards, the Registrar’s Office will inform the faculty to tell the student to report to the Registrar’s Office and
pay a credit transfer fee of 200 Baht per credit of all subjects approved. If the student is approved 20 credits,
the student will pay 4,000 Baht (200 Baht per credit x 20 credits = 4,000 Baht).
Maximum Load per Semester
The students are allowed to take a maximum load of 21 credits per semester while waiting for the result of
credit transfer. The faculty can assist students on which advance subjects he/she could take that are available
in the coming semester (except for newly opened programs where advance subjects are not available).
Credits Transferred
Credits transferred will appear at the student’s Transcript of Records (statement of results) by next semester
with the same grade earned from previous institution. All subjects that were credit transferred, however, will not
be included in the calculation of the student’s current GPA (Grade Point Average).
