Credit System and Credit Transfer
Credit System and Credit Transfer
Credit has an increasingly important role to play in recording student achievement and providing support for students and their progression both into and within higher education system. It is a key tool for promoting lifelong learning and student mobility. Put it into a simple language, credit transfer means that study at one higher education institution can be recognized at others through credit transfers. The practice of credit recognition will create a culture of cooperation among higher education institutions, encourage the sharing of quality assurance mechanisms and allow students to choose subjects of studies from a broader range of subject combination. In view of the importance of the mobility of students in the spare of higher education system in Cambodia or maybe in the region/ international arena, the credit system and credit transfer policy was approved by the Board of the Accreditation Committee of Cambodia in November 2004. The key implementers of the policy are higher education institutions. The policy means to facilitate part-time studies or combination of full-time and part-time studies.
