The policy regarding the acceptance of courses by transfer is to allow credit for courses completed with letter grades C or better (usually, 60% or higher marks) in other recognized Universities.
The transfer student shall file an official transcript of transfer courses and provide other relevant information (course contents/ outlines/ titles of text and reference books) enabling the University to award credit.
An Equivalence Committee comprising three senior faculty members shall oversee such cases. The University may co-opt someone from outside, if necessary. The Committee shall ensure that:
the courses correspond in time and content to the courses offered at Sarhad University,
the courses being considered for transfer were taken within the last five years.
the semester duration matches with that of Sarhad University. Thus 16 credit hours taken in a quarter (10 weeks of teaching) shall be considered equivalent to 10 credit hours of a semester of 16 weeks of teaching.
In no case, the transfer credits shall exceed 50% of the overall credit hours for any degree program of interest at Sarhad University.
Applicants shall have to pay the prevalent credit transfer fee.
Transferred courses shall be reflected on the transcript, but shall not count towards CGPA computation.
Any student taking admission in BS Program after completing 14 years of education under Annual System shall receive 50 credit hours against first 2 years of his/her BS Program and will be required to complete remaining credit hours as per scheme of studies of concerned BS Program to earn 4 years Bachelor degree.
