8 SCBE-specific policies How is matching done? Matching is done by comparing the CONTENT and TOTAL CONTACT HOURS of the overseas course and the corresponding NTU course. The courses match when they are deemed comparable in these 2 areas. You can transfer credit for one overseas course to ONLY ONE NTU course. It is possible to match 1 overseas course to many NTU courses, but ultimately you can transfer credit to ONLY ONE NTU course. In some cases, you may need to take 2 or more overseas courses in order to transfer credit to 1 NTU course. 8
