2024-25 Academic Catalog Page edits in-progress

Transfer Students Coursework

This policy content has been developed to help new students transferring to 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@ for the first-time. If you are a current student seeking information about transfer policies or a returning student with transfer work visit our Transferring Coursework Page.

Some of these policies have been modified for students who enrolled during the semester transition (2016-2018 academic years). See your My Progress report in Arches and your advisor for the most current information regarding requirements for your cohort. Additional information about transfer work and how it is applied to the student record may be found on the Advanced Standing page.

Students who transfer to 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@ fulfill, with one exception, the same requirements as students who begin their college study at 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@. The exception is the sequence of courses designed for first-year students. Transfer students do not complete the FYI/FYH sequence. However, they are expected to complete all other requirements of the college either through transfer coursework or while enrolled at the college. These requirements include:

FYI-101 or equivalent college-writing or Composition I transfer course (if taken prior to initial enrollment);
LSC-300, a course specifically designed for transfer students at 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@;
60 credits earned at 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@, and the last 12 in residence at the college;
40 credits at the 300-400 level;
Minimum competency through coursework or testing in a second language;
Minimum competency through coursework or testing in quantitative reasoning;
One course in Reasoned Examination of Faith at the 200 level;
One course in each of the six Learning Perspectives;
One 4-credit global perspective course and one 4- credit diversity course; and
Two credits of physical activity courses (PEA) or a comparable transfer course.

Semester Transition Notice Regarding Transfer Credits

Due to the recent transition to a semester calendar and curriculum, transfer coursework is evaluated by comparing courses taught during the same time period in 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@'s curriculum. For example, a course taken in Fall 2017 at another institution is compared to 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@ courses taught under trimesters, while courses taken after June 1, 2019 will be compared to the semester curriculum.

Students are required to send their final transcripts (from their most recent high school and/or college experience) to 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@ as a condition of continued enrollment. Please see Transcript Policies for further information about the parameters for sending your transcripts to 365体育投注_365体育备用网址@ and how transcripts are accepted.
