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: Truman students who have enrolled at any other institution must have official transcripts sent from that institution directly to the Truman State University Registrar's Office upon completion of the course(s). Intentional nondisclosure of transfer credit by any student immediately after completion of a course(s) may result in dismissal from Truman State University.


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.
