Applicants aiming to join the BBA program and who have already started a bachelor’s level program in an authorized institution other than SSM are subject to the below transfer policy:

• An official transcript of record showing modules and grades earned must be scanned.

• The admissions department validates the authenticity/legality of the transcript and its issuing institution.

• Once authenticity is proven, a copy the transcript is sent to the Transfer Committee comprised of the Executive Dean and Director of International Affairs and Registrar.

• The Transfer Committee maps the transcript modules with a passing grade against SSM’s list of modules for transfer equivalence decisions. Certain modules, even though passed, might not be transferred in case they substantially differ from SSM’s bachelor’s modules.

• The Transfer Committee then approves transfer of credits of modules that are only passed and strictly denies transferring credits of failed modules based on the Executive Dean’s transfer equivalence decision.

• International credits are converted to U.S. semester credit hours using standard academic equivalency practices.

• SSM grants up to 40% credits to transferring students of the BBA program requirements at SSM; thus, students need to accomplish at least 60% of their module requirements at SSM so that they earn SSM’s bachelor’s degree.
