<p>A student who has been properly admitted to, and has been attending a regular degree programme at a recognized University, may apply for admission to the University of Guyana as a Transfer Student. A Certificate of studentship from his/her University and other relevant information must be submitted at the time the application is made. A person satisfying the requirements of a Transfer Student may be admitted to the appropriate University programme on the recommendation of the Faculty Board.</p>

<p>A Transfer student may be admitted with Advanced Standing and permitted to transfer his/her credits to a degree programme at the University of Guyana provided that at least one-half of the courses required for the degree, including the courses for the final year, are taken at the University of Guyana. Credits may be transferred (see Transfer of Credits) only where the courses from the other University are deemed by the University of Guyana to be equivalent to its own courses.</p>

<p>A student, who has properly completed a degree programme at the University of Guyana, may apply for admission to another programme. Such a student will be permitted to transfer relevant credits to the new programme provided that at least one-half of its courses, including the courses for the final year, are taken as part of the new programme. The original qualification should normally have been gained within the previous five years (See Exemptions). (This regulation applies with equal force to students registered for the Associate Degree programmes in the Faculty of Health Sciences).</p>

<p>A candidate who is seeking admission on an advanced-standing basis must submit to the Office of the Registrar a detailed transcript issued by the University attended, as well as the syllabi of courses passed.</p>

<div class="info column">
<p>Candidates who do not wish to pursue Degree, Diploma or Certificate programmes but who wish to improve professional skills or bring themselves up-to-date in a particular field are designated Special Students.</p>

<p>Candidates may be admitted as Special Students in any of the following categories:</p>

<ul class="list">
	<li>Graduates of Degree programmes from other Universities may register for a maximum of six (6) semester courses per academic year, where necessary, for work towards a higher degree.</li>
	<li>Graduates of Diploma and certificate programmes from the University of Guyana may register for a maximum of four (4) semester courses per academic year.</li>
	<li>Non-Graduates may register for a maximum of two (2) courses per semester. Their selection of courses would be determined by their certified knowledge base or verifiable experience.</li>
	<li>A person may be admitted as a Special Student on any number of occasions but only up to such time as he/she would have completed successfully the following number of semester courses as a Special Student:
	<ul class="list">
		<li>Graduates of Degree Programmes - 12</li>
		<li>Graduates of UG Diploma/Certificate Programmes - 8</li>
		<li>Non-graduates - 6</li>

</ul>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>A person applying for admission as a Special Student must have at least the basic admission requirements or, where relevant, adequate experience in the particular field.</p>

<p>A Special Student may be admitted only if there is a place in the class after all the Regular Students have registered and permission has been granted by the appropriate Head of Department and Lecturer.</p>

<p>A Special Student’s performance at the Annual Examinations will be awarded the letter grade earned. However, the letter grade obtained as a Special Student will not be used towards the computation of the candidate’s Grade Point Average if he/she is subsequently admitted as a Regular Student and the courses passed forms part of his/her programme.</p>

<p>A Special Student subsequently admitted as a Regular student may be exempted from any course passed as a Special Student provided that the specific Faculty regulations permit such exemption.</p>

<p>Undergraduates registered at other Universities may be admitted to selected courses with the approval of the Academic Board.</p>

<p>Applications for admission as a Special Student must be made online by the published closing date in the year during which admission is sought. Applicants will be required to submit original academic documents and birth certificates or other acceptable evidence in support of their applications.</p>

<p>In special circumstances, late applications may be accepted (See Procedures for Withdrawal).</p>
