Process

Students create an ABC account.

To transfer credits, students submit a request to the source and destination HEIs.
Once approved, the credits are transferred from the source HEI to the destination HEI.

Allocation

HEIs allocate credits to qualifications, degree programmes, and single educational components. The number of credits allocated depends on the learning outcomes of the qualification or component.

Accumulation

Students accumulate credits by completing courses and other learning activities. Credits can be accumulated towards a qualification, or simply to document personal achievements for lifelong learning purposes.

Awarding

HEIs award credits to students who have achieved the defined learning outcomes of a qualification or component. Credits are awarded to individual students, and the student's ABC account is debited accordingly.
