Transfer Course Policies
- The AASC and department chairs will determine course comparability based on course descriptions. All courses will be reviewed, regardless of mode of delivery.
- Remedial, personal development, physical education, health, and preparatory courses that are not equivalent to or discipline-compatible with ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ’s courses are unacceptable for transfer.
- Only courses equivalent to three or four credits in which a grade of C or higher has been earned can be accepted for transfer credit. A course with a grade of C- or below will not be accepted in transfer, regardless of the point value assigned by the transferring institution.
-
Grades for transferred courses will not be factored into the ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ grade point average. Credits will be transferred only for those courses that are similar to the requirements for degree programs at ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ University Maryland. The cumulative ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ QPA is used for determining honors at graduation or any other academic honors. Latin honors are calculated with grades that appear on the ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ transcript for courses completed at ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ, through ³ÉÈËÍ·Ìõ-sponsored programs, or for courses taken through the Baltimore Student Exchange Program.
- Courses that are 10 years or older cannot be transferred to fulfill major requirements for graduation.
