🌏 Southeast Asia: ASEAN Credit Transfer System (ACTS) Estimator

Convert academic credits between AUN-member universities using the official AUN-ACTS workload benchmark (60 credits = 1 full academic year, 1 credit = 25–30 hours).

Total credits a full-time student earns in one academic year at your home university (e.g. Thai 40, Indonesian SKS 40-48, Malaysian 36-42, Singaporean 40 MCs).

Sum of credit units for the courses you intend to transfer.

Estimated student workload (lecture + self-study) per home credit. AUN-ACTS benchmark: 25–30 hours per ACTS credit.

How the ACTS Estimator Works

The official AUN-ACTS benchmark. Per the ASEAN University Network specification, one full-time academic year equals 60 ACTS credits (30 per semester, 20 per trimester). One ACTS credit represents 25–30 hours of total student workload — lectures, tutorials, lab time, private study, and assessment combined.

Conversion formula. Your transferable ACTS credits are calculated as (Home Credits / Home Annual Full-Time Load) × 60. The workload range is cross-checked against the 25–30 h/credit corridor so that under- or over-loaded home credits trigger an audit warning.

Mobility cap. AUN-ACTS exchanges are limited to a maximum of two academic semesters (≈ 60 ACTS credits). If your conversion exceeds this cap, the home university must instead seek bilateral articulation rather than ACTS.

Grading. ACTS does not impose a single common letter grade — each member university issues a Transcript of Records using its own scale, and the home institution decides the final credit recognition based on the AUN-QA framework.
