Transfer Guidelines

Previous coursework will be reviewed on an individual basis to determine transfer credits.
Students with a completed Associate degree will work with a academic department chairperson to determine additional courses required to complete a baccalaureate degree in a similar program.
Transfer students must complete a minimum of 30 semester credits (including the last 20 credits) and all major field requirements of the desired program at UMC.
Only courses with a grade of D or better earned will be considered to fulfill requirements in general education and academic major courses.
All courses not used to fulfill general education or major field requirements will be considered electives.
A transfer student's GPA will be calculated using only courses completed at UMC.
