9.4 Procedures on Transfer of Credit Among UG Students
UD accepts students coming from other UAE-accredited universities if they satisfy UD regulations. If admitted, some courses may be transferred as per UD policy. Note that transfer credits from universities accredited by the UAE’s MOE are accepted only if the admission conditions are met. English scores taken for admission into their old universities may be accepted if they satisfy UD requirements.
9.4.1 Admission Criteria for Transfer Students
Math Placement Test
Transfer students who receive credits for Math I or Math II on the basis of courses completed at another institution, are not required to take the Math Placement Test. All other transfer students will have to take the Math Placement Test and will be placed according to the test results.
English Proficiency Requirements
Transfer students who present evidence of having obtained the minimum English proficiency scores (TOEFL 500 or its equivalent at the time of prior enrollment at other institutions, do not have to take any further English proficiency requirements. Transfer students who do not meet the above requirement, but are eligible to receive transfer credits in English courses, may be given conditional credit for English I and/or English II upon presenting the required English exam scores to the Admission Department. Their admission is considered conditional until the official TOEFL or equivalent score is received by the Admission Department.
All other transfer students are subject to the same English proficiency requirements as first-time students.
