Transfer Credit Policies
- Quarter credits are calculated by multiplying Semester credits by 1.5
- 3 semester credits = 4.5 quarter credits
- 4 semester credits = 6 quarter credits
There is no expiration or limitation on the age of an incoming transcript from a regionally accredited institution. However, older transcripts may require the student to provide additional documentation, such as course descriptions.
- Only completed and graded undergraduate college-level (typically 100-200 level courses) will be evaluated. Any courses that appear 鈥渋n progress鈥 on an official transcript will not be considered.

- If the student has questions about how a transferred in course is distributed in their degree or certificate program and how it affects their registration for future classes or graduation, the student should contact their Academic Advisor or Faculty Coordinator to discuss their academic plan.
