Credit accumulation and transfer

Credit accumulation and transfer (CAT) refers to the process by which students earn credits for completed courses and can transfer those credits towards different educational programs or institutions. This system allows learners to build on their educational achievements and pursue advanced studies without starting from scratch. It promotes flexibility, enabling students to tailor their educational paths according to their needs, and helps institutions recognize and validate prior learning. Overall, CAT facilitates lifelong learning and makes higher education more accessible.
