Exemption With Credit

Where a student has completed a course equivalent to a UWI or another institution, credit exemptions eliminates the need to re-register for that course.  Credits will be granted for that course and as such, no replacement course will be required.

Credit exemptions will be granted for all courses that have been accessed by the Faculty for equivalency to specific UWI courses if a minimum B grade has been achieved. Students may be required to submit or upload supporting documents such as college transcripts and course outline(s) from previous college for the equivalent course already passed, if these documents are not on your UWI record.
