Transfer Credits

Exchange of Credits
Students registered at graduate schools can take several courses at Torch Trinity for credit exchange. There are two types: domestic and international.
 
Information
Students registered at graduate schools can apply for credit exchange at Torch Trinity for up to two semesters.
a. Domestic: Students from Korean graduate schools can apply for credit exchange. Both the student and school need to send official letters to Torch Trinity regarding the exchange.
b. International: Students coming from outside Korea can apply for credit exchange. Currently, they must be processed under international admissions until a proper memorandum of understanding (MOU) is established between their school and ours. Until then, they and their school must also send official letters regarding the exchange.
