See our transfer credit policies for more information about how your credits earned from other institutions, exams, military experience and non-traditional institutions transfer to 91影视破解版. 

Credit Evaluation 

We conduct official credit evaluations within 10 business days for all admitted students and a final official credit evaluation for enrolled students before their first term begins. To evaluate your credits, we require official transcripts from all the institutions you have attended.

The transfer credit evaluation determines how the courses you have transferred fit into the degree requirements at 91影视破解版.  

 The evaluation is divided into two main sections:  

  1. courses that apply to the Core Curriculum  
  2. free electives/potential major courses

As a transfer student, you are required to complete 91影视破解版鈥檚 general education program, known as the Core Curriculum. If you have completed more credits than can be transferred, we will prioritize transferring the courses necessary to fulfill your 91影视破解版 Core Curriculum and major requirements. 

Individual Course Petitions 

If an equivalency cannot be determined, it will be transferred as elective credit. To request a review of an elective course, the appropriate academic department must review the course content.

Submit the completed form to the appropriate academic department based on the equivalency you are requesting. The articulation team will collaborate with the relevant academic department to review your request. If you have any general transfer related questions, feel free to email us at .
