Transfer Guidelines
- A maximum of 68 hours may be transferred from community colleges to ¹ú²ú̽»¨. For students with more than 68 hours, the 68 hours that best complete the degree plan as of the first semester the student attends ¹ú²ú̽»¨ will be transferred. No changes may be made to the choice of transferred hours after the student starts classes at ¹ú²ú̽»¨.
- Only grades of "C-" or better will transfer. Grades of "D" do not transfer.
- Community college courses may not transfer into ¹ú²ú̽»¨ as upper-division courses (300-400 level), even though ¹ú²ú̽»¨ may have an upper-division course with exactly the same name and description. Community college courses may not be used to fulfill the 30-hour upper-division requirement for graduation at ¹ú²ú̽»¨. However, the course may be used as a substitute for an upper-division course with an approved substitution form signed by the chair and dean.
- FREX134, Exploring the Arts & Sciences, is required of all students except transfer students entering with 24 or more hours, no more than 12 of which may be earned through dual participation
