Credit transfer

Learn how our partnership with Fairleigh Dickinson University enables US university credits to be earned and transferred towards future study pathways.

School of record

Study a semester, summer or gap year programme at Bayswater, and you can leave with an official transcript from Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU), a respected US university in New Jersey. It records real US academic credit, which you may be able to transfer to other universities across the US and worldwide.

It works through a School of Record partnership we agreed with FDU in 2024. We design the curriculum, FDU validates our courses and faculty, and FDU issues your transcript at the end. FDU is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, and its Silberman College of Business holds Business Accreditation from AACSB International.

Institutional transcript

The academic record is issued by the Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU) home campus in New Jersey. This document confirms the completion of the programme by recording the final grade and the US credit value as an official university unit.

The record includes:

✔️Final letter grade

✔️US university credit value

✔️The official Fairleigh Dickinson University seal

Transcript request and distribution:

✔️Issuing: One transcript is included in the programme fee.

✔️Delivery: The transcript is issued and sent directly to a home institution or a chosen location.

✔️Additional copies: Further copies for university applications are ordered through the FDU registrar.

Transfer Process

Step 1:

Students are responsible for consulting with the registrar or academic advisor at their home institution or target university before enrolling. This confirms how the US credits earned through the School of Record agreement will be accepted towards their degree.

Step 2:

To earn US university credits, students must successfully complete their chosen Professional Certificates or Diplomas delivered under the Fairleigh Dickinson University School of Record agreement.

Step 3:

Following the successful completion of the programme, the official academic record is issued by Fairleigh Dickinson University. The transcript is mailed directly to the institution or location specified during the registration process.

Step 4:

The final decision on credit recognition and transfer rests with the receiving institution. Bayswater does not control how external universities apply these credits to their own degree frameworks.
