      Hi, Reyzale!

      Thanks for visiting our site.

      That would depend on how many units will be carried over from your previous course to your new one, and that, in turn depends on the curriculum of the school you are going to enroll at. We suggest you get in touch with the registrar of the said school, so they can give you a more accurate and detailed response.

      🙂
