Transfer Student

A student enrolled in an accredited institution of higher education that requires full-time attendance may be admitted as a transfer student to the RHU if space in the aspired program is available and the student meets the following conditions:
  • has studied at least one semester in the old institution,
  • was not dismissed from the old institution for disciplinary reasons, and
  • satisfies the admission requirements of the desired program.

Transfer student is required to submit official transcripts and a certified copy of detailed descriptions of the courses taken at the previous institution. Student transferring from an institution outside of Lebanon must also submit a letter of accreditation from the Lebanese Ministry of Higher Education.

The Admission Committee of the concerned College reviews the transfer applications and forwards its recommendations to the Dean who in turn informs the Director of Admission of the final decision for action.

A transfer student shall be treated as a new student for purposes of probation and dismissal. For transfer purposes, a regular semester is equivalent to 15 earned credits. Transfer students must study at least four regular semesters at RHU and acquire the Co-op work experience to earn a Bachelor degree.

Transfer credits

    Courses earned by a transfer student prior to joining RHU may count as RHU credits subject to the following conditions:
    • The credits were earned within three years of the effective transfer date.
    • The applicable course is deemed equivalent to the course offered at RHU, that is, at least 80% of its contents match, involves the same components (Lecture, Lab), and has the same number of credits or more.
    • The student has attained a grade of 75 or above on the course.

    A student may not transfer more than 12 credits of major mandatory courses unless a prior agreement with the institution from which the student is transferring is in effect. No requests to transfer credits shall be accepted after enrollment.

    A “P” grade shall appear on the student's record for each transferred course but will not be included in the calculation of the cumulative GPA.

    A student may decide to take a course at RHU for which an equivalent course credits were transferred. In this case either the transferred course or the RHU course and the associated grade shall appear on the student transcripts.
