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.

NOTE: Students who have participated in dual credit programs and/or those who have attempted prior college credit are required to have official transcripts sent from all colleges and universities through which they have been enrolled.  Official transcripts for transfer students must be sent to the Admissions Office prior to matriculation at Truman.  Undergraduate course work is evaluated by the Registrar's Office for transferability and applicability. Credit and grades for transferable courses will become part of the student's academic record at Truman. Faxed transcripts will not be accepted as official documents.


IN GENERAL, courses taken at accredited universities will transfer. Credit by examination is also transferable if the exam score meets established requirements at Truman. Visit the Registrar's AP, CLEP and Transfer Equivalency webpage for more information.  The Registrar's Transfer Website also provides a listing of courses, by institution, that have previously been transferred to Truman State University.


A TRANSFER CREDIT EVALUATION is automatically completed with each transfer admission application. When an evaluation is conducted, a transfer credit evaluation report is generated.  We will provide you with copies of the report.  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.
