Transfer of Credit
The number of credit hours transferred will be based on PAU’s quarter unit system (multiply the number of semester hours by 1.5). For example, 3 semester hours x 1.5 = 4.5. It is the student’s responsibility to make up the difference if the total number of degree credits falls short of the requirement for the degree. The amount of PAU credit awarded may not exceed the equivalent amount on the originating transcript.
Semester Units Converted to Quarter Units:
1 semester unit = 1.5 quarter units
2 semester unit = 3 quarter units
3 semester unit = 4.5 quarter units
4 semester unit = 6 quarter units
5 semester unit = 7.5 quarter units
6 semester unit = 9 quarter units
Although transfer credit from other universities will be posted on the PAU transcript, grades will not be posted or computed in the PAU grade point average for probation or disqualification review.
