Section II: Advising Practice

Students are responsible for contacting an advisor at the transferring and destination institutions. Transfer students will be advised with the objective of assuring the continued success of transfer students in engineering programs.

Section III: Transfer of Credit

A. Grade Eligibility

Only academic courses with a letter grade of "C-" or better will be accepted for transfer, though competitive admissions standards may require minimum grades of "B" in science, mathematics, and engineering courses.

B. Treatment of advanced placement, national standardized test scores, and other non-traditional methods of awarding credit.

Students who have earned acceptable scores on Advanced Placement (AP) or have earned an International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma may be awarded college credit at the destination institution. College credit that is granted will be recorded on a student’s transcript in accordance with the destination institution’s grade policy, and will count toward graduation if the AP or IB courses are consistent with that institution’s graduation requirements. If students have questions regarding the transfer of AP or IB credit, they should see their advisor at the destination institution.

C. Statute of Limitations

The destination college or university will accept all approved credits earned within ten years of transfer, provided that course content has not changed substantially within that time period. Credits earned more than ten years earlier may be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
