Course Matching
Each and every course considered for transfer credit will be examined for compatibility with an equivalent course offered for the same program at WUST with respect to the following:
1. Course title, course description, and the number of credit hours, and/or
2. In extenuating cases, if and when the conditions in (1) above are not satisfied, the VP of Education could approve a course matching by considering the degree of similarity in content and learning objectives of the courses.
