APEL.C (CREDIT TRANSFER)
APEL.C is a structured assessment process that recognizes and evaluates an individual’s prior formal, non-formal, and informal learning gained through life and work experiences—when these are relevant to specific courses within a program of study. Through this evaluation, eligible learning experiences are converted into academic credits, enabling learners to accelerate the completion of their academic program.
The credits awarded under APEL.C are ungraded; therefore, they do not involve grade transfers and are excluded from the computation of GPA and CGPA. Additionally, APEL.C credits cannot be applied to final-year projects or dissertations.
A maximum of 30% of the total graduating credits for any given program may be earned through the APEL.C credit award mechanism.
