Transfer from Another Recognized College/University

A student may be accepted at DU as transfer student from another college/university if he/she:

1. Is transferring from a university recognized by the Ministry of Higher Education accredited university,

2. Was not dismissed from that university for disciplinary reasons,

3. Meets DU’s admission requirements, and

4. Satisfies the residency requirements.

If, at a later time, it is discovered that the transfer student had been dismissed from his/her former university for disciplinary reasons, his/her acceptance will be revoked retroactively.
The Admission Committee of the chosen College studies the applications of transferring students and forwards its recommendations to the dean who in turn sends his decision to the University’s Director of Admission and Registration.

2. The number of transferrable core courses must not exceed 9 credits unless a prior agreement has been signed with the institution from which the student is transferring

3. The student had attained a grade of C, Good or 70 or above on the DU grading scale in the transfer course.

4. Transferred credits will appear on the student's record but will not be included in the calculation of his/her cumulative GPA.
