Frequent Questions and Procedures

Catalog Policies

Transfer credit procedures are governed by 成人APP精选Catalog policies. See  for more information.

Transfer Credit Evaluation Process

All transfer courses are reviewed individually, on a case-by-case basis, without attachment to a student or degree program.

  • Course descriptions are taken from your transfer school's catalog during the time of your attendance and are best matched to the current 成人APP精选curriculum.
  • Courses taught at different levels than their potential 成人APP精选equivalent cannot be equated. Upper-division credit cannot be given for a class taken at the lower division, and lower-division credit cannot be given for a class taught at the upper division.
  • At UAA, lower division is indicated by 100 and 200-level courses, and upper division is 300 and 400-level courses. Numbering systems across the U.S. vary widely in how level is indicated.
  • Transfer courses must have been taught at the undergraduate level in order to transfer.
  • Special topic courses, internships, and independent study classes will usually be brought in as elective credit due to the lack of consistent content.
  • If you have taken a class that fulfills a degree requirement as a topical class, ask your academic advisor if the petition process is an option.

Transferred Courses with Partial Credit

  • Courses that differ from equivalent 成人APP精选courses by less than 1 credit (for example 2.668) are equated to 成人APP精选courses and meet 成人APP精选course requirements without requiring a petition.
  • To complete credit requirements greater than 1 credit, you can either take another 成人APP精选class or pursue an academic petition.
  • You are still required to complete the total number of credits required for your GERs and degree, as these totals are never rounded up and cannot be petitioned. 

Non-institutionally Accredited Institutions

If you have taken coursework that appears to otherwise be equivalent to a 成人APP精选course, contact your academic advisor to discuss the possibility of pursuing the academic petition process.
