TRANSFER CREDIT - UNDERGRADUATE
Effective: August 15, 2024
Purpose: Provides a framework for evaluating and accepting credits earned at one institution for transfer toward an undergraduate degree at the University.
Scope: This policy applies to all University undergraduate students campus wide.
Responsible Office: Academic Affairs; Registrar’s Office
Policy Statement: The University accepts undergraduate transfer credits for courses taken at other accredited two-year and four-year colleges or universities. The University reserves the right to examine selected courses to determine whether their content and quality fit the University’s purpose and goals.
Only passing grades are accepted for credit and count toward a degree; however, all grades, including failing grades, are used in determining a student's grade-point average with the exception of the grades of “P” (pass) and “S” (satisfactory). Students who transfer in "F" or "D" grades for courses whose equivalents at the University are not comparable in credit hours, may select one of the following options: (1) The student may choose to let the remaining hour(s) of poor grade stand as is; or (2) The student may choose to take an additional course to improve the grade in those remaining hour(s).
Courses numbered 100 or 200 at another four-year institution but which transfer as equivalents to upper-division University courses will satisfy University requirements.
Students who have a minimum of a 2.0 (C) cumulative grade-point average for all previous credits earned at other two-year and four-year colleges will be admitted unconditionally.
Students who transfer from two-year colleges must take at least sixty (60) hours of work at a four-year college, thirty (30) of which must be at the University, to receive a bachelor's degree. Students who transfer work to the University should read the resident requirements carefully and make sure that their pattern of courses will meet the University degree requirements.
Definitions: All words and phrases shall be interpreted utilizing their plain meanings unless otherwise defined in another University or Board of Regents policy or by statute or regulation.
Procedures: All procedures linked and related to the policies above shall have the full force and effect of policy if said procedures have first been properly approved by the University’s administrator in charge of Academic Affairs.
