Such transfer credits will be applied to the requirements of a degree program if students complete their residency requirement and the remaining coursework in their major and minor fields of study. Credit for transfer courses completed more than ten years before the time of admission may be denied. No credit for the course work completed at another institution will be accepted if the same or equivalent course is taken at East-West University. Credit hours earned at colleges which operate on a semester basis will be multiplied by 1.5 in order to convert them to quarter hours.
