transfer credit

Coursework carried over

Transfer credit is academic credit earned at one educational institution that another institution accepts toward a degree or program.

Students transferring between colleges negotiate which courses will count: I lost twelve transfer credits when I switched schools.

The term also applies to credits moved between programs within the same institution.
