Credit transfer courses


Explanation:
Credit Transfer (Courses Completed While Abroad)
Courses completed at a foreign university can be recognized by LMU, assuming that they don't differ significantly from a comparable course offered by the economics department at the LMU. In general it's easier to get courses taken abroad counted as elective courses, instead of as core courses.

Transferable


Explanation:
Transferable Courses
A transferable course is a course taken at one college or university that can be used for unit credit at another institution. This does not indicate how the course can be used to fulfill a subject matter requirement at a university campus.

http://students.ivc.edu/articulation/Pages/vs.aspx

UC has transferable course agreements (TCA) with all California community colleges. These agreements specify the courses that will receive baccalaureate degree credit from us. All California community colleges also have agreements with UC campuses that specify which of the transferable courses may be used to meet various general education/breadth and major preparation requirements. These agreements were developed to ensure continuity in students' academic programs.

List of Universally Transferable Courses in SC

This list includes general education courses approved by the public colleges and universities and the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education for transfer among two- and four-year public institutions in the state. While these courses are guaranteed to transfer, some may transfer as elective credit and not toward degree requirements. Therefore, students are advised to use the “Search for Equivalencies” function and to consult their academic counselors to learn more about how these courses will transfer to particular institutions.

It would help if we knew the target country but 'credit transfer' is used in Europe, Australia, Canada and the United States.

TRANSFERABLE COURSES
Which Credits are Transferable
If you are transferring from a California community colleges, typically the Transfer Center will have lists of courses that transfer to CSU campuses. In addition, ASSIST is California's official online service for determining how courses credits will transfer between institutions. To determine which of your courses will transfer prior to completion of your transfer credit evaluation (DAR), visit ASSIST or consult your community college Transfer Center.

Students with transfer credits from a regionally accredited four-year college typically find most courses are transferable.

CSUEB's Academic Catalog outlines the policy for how a student's transfer credit is evaluated and awarded.

If you have enough room, i.e. it's not a column header, you could also use 'Professional modules that meet credit transfer requirements'.

Homologable


Explanation:
Caveat: Some people may not be keen on this. However, it is used.
"Homologation is the granting of approval by an official authority. This may be a court of law, a government department, or an academic or professional body, any of which would normally work from a set of strict rules or standards to determine whether such approval should be given. The word may be considered very roughly synonymous with accreditation, and in fact in French and Spanish[1] may be used with regard to academic degrees.

Example sentence(s):
  • The official recognition process is called degree homologation, or homologación de títulos in Spanish.
  • Seminar on " Proceedings to homologate academic degrees in Spain"
