Good morning Paola
With respect to the courses offered we request that students obtain detailed course outlines which would allow Faculty at UWI to determine the level of equivalence. We have found over the years, in some instances, what is a UWI level 3 course could be a level 2 course at a partner but the required content is covered. In cases like this then the UWI equivalent credits are approved.
We ask that students seek approval, prior to registration of any courses which they seek to change when on exchange to avoid courses not being accepted on return to complete their programme. This has happened in the past as well.
With respect to the credit equivalents approved by the UWI, at the Cave Hill Campus, students are assigned 3 credits for the UWI equivalent course which goes on their transcript regardless of the amount of credits the course is worth at the hosting institution.
I hope this explanation has been useful.
