The following criteria apply to the evaluation of transfer records:
- Decisions about whether a transfer course satisfies a specific General Education requirement are made by the Dean, in consultation with the academic program with oversight for that particular General Education area.
- Decisions about whether a transfer course satisfies a major or minor requirement are made by the Chair or Director of the specific academic program, in consultation with the faculty of that program.
- A three-credit-hour course will satisfy a four-credit-hour General Education requirement; however, only three credits will be applied in transfer credit.
- Online transfer credits taken after matriculation will not be accepted to meet the Written Communication General Education requirement, the Foreign Language General Education requirement, the Literature General Education requirement, or Writing courses taken to meet the Arts General Education requirement. Any other decisions regarding the approval of online credit will be made by the division related to major credits or the Dean in consultation with the academic program related to General Education credit.
