Transfer Credit

The following documentation must be brought for pre-approval consideration:

  • Course description (full syllabus preferred)
  • Prerequisites for the course (for example: “Principles of Economics” or “Differential Calculus”)
  • Textbook(s) used for the course
  • The name of the accredited institution offering the class
