• Matriculated students who plan to take courses at other institutions must obtain prior approval by filling out a Transfer Credit Approval Form and submitting it to the Registrar's Office with the course descriptions attached, in order to apply this course work toward the degree requirements of the University.
  
• All English, Mathematics, Business, and Biology courses need prior approval from the respective departments before you return the form to the Registrar's Office.  
  
• Students must have a minimum GPA of 2.0 before any courses will be transferred in.
  
• A maximum of 90 credits from other four-year institutions, including no more than 63 cresits from the two-year colleges can be applied toward degree requirements at this University.  Students should also be prepared to provide catalogs from the colleges they have previously attended. 
  
• Once you submit the form it will be either approved or rejected and you will receive a copy of the form in the mail.
  
• If the transfer course is approved, the student should send a copy of their transcript from the other university with the graded course to the Registrar's Office to be added to their SCSU transcript.
  
• When waiting for a course to be added to your transcript, please check your unofficial transcript on using Banner Self-Service. Once a course is added to your transcript it shows up on the web immediately.
