Frequent Questions and Procedures

Catalog Policies

Transfer credit procedures are governed by 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 Catalog policies. See  for more information.

Transfer Credit Evaluation Process

All transfer courses are reviewed individually, on a case-by-case basis, without attachment to a student or degree program.

  • Course descriptions are taken from your transfer school's catalog during the time of your attendance and are best matched to the current 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 curriculum.
  • Courses taught at different levels than their potential 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 equivalent cannot be equated. Upper-division credit cannot be given for a class taken at the lower division, and lower-division credit cannot be given for a class taught at the upper division.
  • At 老澳门六合彩开奖记录, lower division is indicated by 100 and 200-level courses, and upper division is 300 and 400-level courses. Numbering systems across the U.S. vary widely in how level is indicated.
  • Transfer courses must have been taught at the undergraduate level in order to transfer.
  • Special topic courses, internships, and independent study classes will usually be brought in as elective credit due to the lack of consistent content.
  • If you have taken a class that fulfills a degree requirement as a topical class, ask your academic advisor if the petition process is an option.

Understanding Transfer Equivalency Report

The transfer equivalency report is available on . Sometimes transfer credit ends up being processed a bit sooner than activity that establishes a UAOnline account. Often waiting for a few days will allow you access to your account. If you need help logging into your account, finding your student ID number or establishing a password, visit .

  1. Grp (Group Code): In some cases, multiple courses need to be taken together to be granted credit as a group for a 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 equivalent. This is common when transferring "triplet" sequences from quarter schools (such as languages) or in the sciences where content may be divided differently across the quarters or semesters. In grouped equivalencies, a full year at one institution (Human Anatomy & Physiology 1 and 2 or 1, 2, and 3 at a quarter school) is matched with the full year here at 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 (BIOL A111/A112). All of the credit (and grades) for the grouped courses are attached to the first course listed.
  2. Institution Equivalent Course (Subj, Crse, Course Title): This is the 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 course/credit granted in transfer.
    老澳门六合彩开奖记录 grants three types of transfer credit:
    • Direct Equivalent: When a transferred course matches a specific 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 course in content, sequence, course level (upper or lower division) and description, you receive credit for that course.
    • General Education Requirement: 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 grants credit in most General Education Requirement (GER) areas for courses that fulfill the intent of a GER category but do not match a specific 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 course. Courses with an asterisk (*) proceeding the title will fulfill GERs. Students cannot fulfill the Integrative Capstone GER with transfer credit. 
    • Departmental Elective: This designation indicates the course is not a direct equivalent to a 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 course nor does it fulfill the intent of a GER category. It can, however, be used as general elective credit and applied toward the total number of credits needed to earn your degree or certificate. Contact your academic to discuss applying a departmental elective toward a degree requirement.
  3. Credits (Transferred Credits): 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 automatically converts credits accepted from other institutions to semester hours. The quarter-to-semester standard conversion formula is: quarter credits x .668. For example, 5 quarter credits x .668 = 3.335 semester credits.
  4. Grd (Transferred Grade): 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 transfers +/- grades as letter grades by simply dropping the +/-. Numerical grades are assigned their letter equivalent. The "T" indicates that it is a transferred grade.
  5. Total Credits Accepted: The total number of credits earned at your previous institution that transferred to 老澳门六合彩开奖记录.

If you have earned a baccalaureate degree from another institutionally accredited institution, 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 waives your General Education Requirements (GERs). This waiver will appear as a course on your evaluation report with the code *GERWV AAPD1R (*Prev Degree - GERs Waived). You are expected to complete all degree and major requirements.

Transferred Courses with Partial Credit

  • Courses that differ from equivalent 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 courses by less than 1 credit (for example 2.668) are equated to 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 courses and meet 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 course requirements without requiring a petition.
  • To complete credit requirements greater than 1 credit, you can either take another 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 class or pursue an academic petition.
  • You are still required to complete the total number of credits required for your GERs and degree, as these totals are never rounded up and cannot be petitioned. 

Non-institutionally Accredited Institutions

If you have taken coursework that appears to otherwise be equivalent to a 老澳门六合彩开奖记录 course, contact your academic advisor to discuss the possibility of pursuing the academic petition process.
