Sharing from a PUO Senior
Introduction:
A senior from PUO, a Diploma in Electrical Engineering graduate, who continued his studies at UTM in Electronic Engineering.
Credit Transfer Experience:
In the first semester, students should initially follow the timetable provided by the faculty and register for courses according to the schedule.
The faculty is aware that diploma graduates need to apply for credit transfer, and they will guide students on how to submit the application through the student portal.
After that, the faculty will provide a list showing which courses are available for replacement in Year 2 Semester 1.
After Successful Credit Transfer:
Students need to visit the faculty and fill in a form to:
Delete the courses that have been approved for credit transfer.
Register for new replacement courses.
Usually, contacting the Academic Advisor (AA) and the faculty is enough. The most important thing is to prepare the diploma course information.
Important Notes:
Credit transfer is not necessarily a one-to-one course replacement.
For example, several diploma courses can be used to apply for exemption from one degree course.For subjects like “Introduction to XXX”, it is recommended to apply for credit transfer if possible. Students can provide documents such as:
Internship certificates
Relevant course information/syllabus
to support the application.
