Once fully admitted to the university as a degree-seeking student, the Office of the Registrar will evaluate the student’s official transcript(s). This evaluation will determine the credit hours awarded and their applicability to 海角社区’ degree requirements. Note: Grades do not transfer into 海角社区.
To be considered for transfer, course work must be completed at a regionally accredited post-secondary institution. Only courses with an earned grade of “C-” or better will be considered for transfer. Credit from foreign institutions requires an evaluation from WES or ECE. Courses graded Pass/Fail will not transfer, unless documentation is received from the awarding institution stating that a grade of “P” is equal to a C- or better.
Transfer credit is not awarded for the following: remedial courses, non-academic courses, highly technical courses, vocational courses, physical education courses for team sports and credit by examination.
Semester hour credit transfers the same (3 hrs. for 3 hrs.). Courses that were completed on a quarter credit system will be transferred in at a rate of .67 (quarter to semester; ex: 5 quarter credits equal 3.35 semester credits).
Transfer credit for courses taken more than ten years prior to the student’s enrollment will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Because the rate of change in some areas of knowledge is so great, relatively outdated course work may no longer provide the necessary background for advanced study. A student may have to repeat some courses at the discretion of the appropriate departments.
Students may receive up to 90 credit hours of academic credit from all institutions attended; however, no more than 64 credit hours can be transferred from two-year institutions. All exam (CLEP, AP, IB, etc.) and military credit will be counted toward the total.

Transfer students must meet all degree requirements in their catalog of entry including the residency requirements. There are no substitutions for QMP 200, the 300-level QLC or QCP 410. All students must complete QMP 200, a 300-level QLC and QCP 410 at 海角社区 to earn a bachelor’s degree. There are no transfer equivalencies for these courses. The university’s internship requirement is waived for any transfer student receiving 36 or more credits. Some majors, however, require internships as part of the major requirements.
Students entering 海角社区 with first-time freshman status and having earned 36 or more college-level credits (excludes credits in the “other” category above) will follow the transfer equivalencies for the general education requirements. These students will be required, however, to complete QMP 100 and the University’s internship requirement.
