Transfer of Credits
Upon satisfactory completion of these courses, students will receive the credits awarded by the Lingnan University. They may apply to transfer the credits back to HKUST into the Common Core Program by completing a credit-transfer application form (obtainable from the Academic Records and Registration Office (ARRO) or major department) and following the application procedures as announced by the ARRO. Granted transfer credits will not be included in the calculation of grade averages.
