Transferring Credit

STUDENTS WHO ARE TRANSFERRING CREDIT to Truman from another accredited college or university, will receive advanced standing, semester credit hour for equivalent semester hour, for transferable courses. Transfer students wishing to graduate in a baccalaureate degree program must earn a minimum of 45 credit hours at Truman, with the last 28 taken in residence. A minimum of 15 credit hours of required major coursework must be completed at Truman.

IN GENERAL, courses taken at accredited universities will transfer. Credit by examination is also transferable if the exam score meets established requirements at Truman. AP scores of 3 or above will be necessary to receive test credit normally awarded by the University. Visit the Registrar's AP, CLEP and Transfer Equivalency webpage for more information.

A TRANSFER CREDIT EVALUATION is automatically completed with each transfer admission application. When an evaluation is conducted, course equivalencies are provided on your college transcripts.  We will provide you with copies of these transcripts.  Your transferable grade point average is also calculated.

TRANSFER GRADES ARE CALCULATED by using the grades for all courses accepted in transfer (this includes D's and F's earned in courses normally accepted for credit at Truman.) The resulting transfer GPA will be used for admission as well as graduation.
