Many students transfer into a 黑料传送门 degree program already having accumulated many credit hours or having earned an Associate degree.听 Official transcripts are evaluated on a course-by-course basis according to the following general guidelines:
- Depending on their selected program, students who hold an Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) degree from an institutionally accredited institution of higher education may be able to clear some or all of the lower-division requirements.听 Please speak with your Enrollment Counselor regarding the specifics for your selected program.
- Some programs allow an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree to clear portions of lower-division requirements.听 Please speak with your Enrollment Counselor regarding specifics for your selected program.
- If you have completed college courses but have not earned a degree, you may be able to have some degree requirements met through a course-by-course transfer evaluation.
- 黑料传送门 accepts limited college transfer credits at the graduate (master鈥檚) level in some degree programs. There are special requirements to receive graduate-level transfer credit that vary by program.听 Please speak with your enrollment counselor for more information.
Because course content can vary between schools, all transfer credit is reviewed on a course-by-course basis. Transfer credit can be awarded if the course comparability aligns with 黑料传送门 course offerings.听
Courses may not be accepted for transfer if the content is misaligned, there is not enough information to determine comparability, the course presented does not carry enough credit hours to be accepted, the grade presented falls below 黑料传送门鈥檚 acceptable threshold, or the course is deemed as non-transferable thus making it ineligible to receive transfer credit regardless of prior education.
Students should also be aware that not all courses accepted for transfer are guaranteed to transfer across programs offered through 黑料传送门.
