University Mobility in Asia and the Pacific (UMAP) has developed a pilot UMAP Credit Transfer Scheme (UCTS) to facilitate greater student mobility in the region by providing a framework for establishing credit transfer arrangements. [1] UCTS model adopted the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) in order to assist and facilitate the student mobility and create a flexible mean of transferring grades between participating universities, countries/territories and governments. [2]
The UCTS objective is to ensure effective credit transfer for students undertaking exchange program in universities from UMAP countries/territories and other regions. [3]
Some of the major components of the UCTS scheme are:
UCTS credit points are numerical values (1 to 60) and it is allocated to course units to measure student workload required to finish the course. 60 credit points represent full-time student workload for a full academic year. For one semester exchange student, the credit points would be represented with 30 credit points.
Example: One Semester Study Program in Host University (Host University = 16 Credit point per semester; Home University = 6 credit points per term)
Course Unit | Host University | UCTS | Home University |
---|---|---|---|
A | 4 | 7.5 | 2.25 |
B | 4 | 7.5 | 2.25 |
C | 4 | 7.5 | 2.25 |
D | 4 | 7.5 | 2.25 |
Total | 16 | 30.0 | 9.0 |
Conversion from Host University Credit Points to UCTS: 4*30/16 [5]
Conversion from UCTS to Home University Credit Points: 7.5*9/30 [5]
The UCTS credit points scale and grading scale are not intended to replace host and home universities scales. It is used solely for the purpose of assisting the conversion. [1]
UCTS Grade | Successful Students normally achieving grade (%) | Definition |
---|---|---|
A | 10 % | EXCELLENT: Outstanding with only minor errors |
B | 25 % | VERY GOOD: Above average standard but with some errors |
C | 30 % | GOOD: Generally sound work with a number of notable errors |
D | 25 % | SATISFACTORY: Fair but with significant shortcomings |
E | 10 % | SUFFICIENT: Performance meets the minimum criteria |
FX | - | FAIL: Some more work required before the credit can be awarded |
F | - | FAIL: Considerable further work is required |
The grading scale of universities will vary between countries/territories within UMAP. As in European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS), it is necessary to have a common scale for conversion purposes. [6]
