GET CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE
1. The courses must be taken for credit at an academically accredited, degree granting college or university. The amount of credit granted will be based on the official transcript and calculated in semester hours. To convert quarter hours to semester hours, multiply by 2/3 (4.5 quarter hours equals 3 semester hours). Continuing Education Units (CEU) are not transferable. Questions about applicability toward degree requirements of a transfer course carrying a different number of semester credits than the corresponding UVM course should be directed to the Academic Dean or Advisor.
2. Courses must be comparable in content, nature, and intensity to offerings at The University of Vermont. Credit is given for course content only once; it is the student's responsibility not to duplicate courses. Questions about applicability of transfer credit to requirements should be directed to the Advisor or Dean.
3. Students must earn a C (2.0) or higher in each course for transfer credit to be considered. Pass/No Pass, Satisfactory, or grades below C (2.0) are not acceptable. Grades do not transfer and are not calculated into the University of Vermont grade point average.
4. Students must complete 30 of their last 45 credits at the University of Vermont. Students are responsible for understanding the residency requirements of their college.
5. Transfer credit is added to a student's University of Vermont transcript only when the student is enrolled in a degree program at The University of Vermont.
6. On completion of the courses, the student must arrange to have an official transcript sent directly from the Registrar's Office at the host institution to:
7. If the transfer credit is the final credit toward graduation, the student must arrange to have the transcript sent so that it arrives at the Office of Transfer Affairs before the deadline set by his/her Academic Dean. MOST UNIVERSITIES ARE NOT ABLE TO ISSUE A TRANSCRIPT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FINAL EXAM!
