Evaluation of Transfer Credit
The Office of Admissions is responsible for the award of transfer credit and completes course-by-course transfer credit evaluations for all new transfer students. Evaluations will be available to new transfers approximately one week prior to their scheduled transfer orientation. All transfer students are responsible for providing their final transcript to the Office of Admissions. Re-admitted students will receive a new transfer credit evaluation based upon current transfer credit policy. A previous transfer credit evaluation will not be applicable to the new catalog year. The University reserves the right to revise a transfer credit evaluation at any time.
Transfer credit evaluations are considered final upon completion of the first academic year of enrollment. No changes will be made to evaluations after this time.
