Transfer Credit Form

Guidelines for Assigning Transfer Credit

• University and College level courses
  • 80% content needs to overlap to be granted equivalent transfer credit; less than 80% overlap can be granted generic transfer credit
• 2XX vs 9XX and how to decide
  • Introductory or first year courses are typically given junior credit (2XX)
  • Upper year or courses with introductory prerequisites are typically given senior credit (9XX)
• Determining unit weight
  • 39 credit hours is the standard for a 3 unit course with no lab component
  • 52 credit hours is the standard for a 3 unit course that includes a lab component
• Course assessments should be completed by the department based on the name of the incoming course (example: BIOL 1112 should be assessed in the Biology department)
