Transfer Credit Policies for Admitted Undergraduates


USF 1996-97 Undergraduate Catalog - Page 33

Transfer of Credit To USF

USF will accept credits only from those institutions accredited by one of the accrediting agencies/commissions recognized by USF. However, USF reserves the right to deny credit for specific courses. The receipt and evaluation of total transfer credit are the responsibility of the Office of Admissions. The college of the student's major will determine which courses are applicable toward a specific degree and will assign equivalent courses (see Evaluation of Transfer Credit under Admissions and Related Matters).

USF subscribes fully to all of the provisions of the statewide Articulation Agreement (Rule 6A-10.024) and strongly recommends that students complete the asociate of arts degree, or in certain prior-approved areas the associate of science degree, before transferring. Special details for students who do not plan to complete the associate degree requirements are available from the Office of Admissions. Also, all transfer students should refer to other entries about undergraduate transfers in the Admissions section of this catalog.

Continuously Enrolled Degree-Seeking Student

The Office of Admissions will determine the acceptability of transfer credits taken at regionally-accredited institutions while enrolled at USF as a continuing, degree-seeking student. However, PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL MUST BE OBTAINED from the college of the student's major if these credits are to be applicable to the USF degree program. A properly-executed Transient Student Form or Cross Enrollment Form should be used for this purpose.

Transient Students

USF degree-seeking students who wish to enroll at another regionally-accredited institution MUST HAVE PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL from their college academic advisor to receive credit for courses taken. The transient student/cross enrollment form should be used for this purpose.

USF/Florida Public Community College Cross Enrollment

Some undergraduate students may find it advantageous to cross enroll at a Florida public community college while attending USF. Procedures to permit this type of registration are available during specified times printed in the University Class Schedule. Credit hours for the course(s) taken at the host institution will apply toward graduation only if prior approval was received from the student's USF advisor. The grade point average will not transfer to USF. See a USF college advisor for detailed registration instructions and course approval.
