Awarding Transfer Credit
The Admissions Office evaluates transfer credit once your transcript has been received. The College of Arts & Sciences also completes an evaluation of acceptable credit that will apply to your degree program.
How it Works:
- A maximum of 60 semester hours can be applied toward degree credit from any 2year college
- A maximum of 81 semester hours can be applied toward degree credit from any 4year college
- No more than 12 semester hours of "D" credit can be used only in areas where "D" credit is acceptable (see the undergraduate catalog for the grade of "D" policy)
- If you are transferring quarter hours, you will receive credit for 3.3 semester hours (1.5 quarter hours is equal to one semester hour)
- Dummy numbers (1099, 2099, 3099, and 4099) are assigned by the Admissions Office to unfamiliar course titles. It is the student's responsibility to bring a course description from the previous institution so that the course may be evaluated and equated to a similar GSU course. (please see Transfer Credit Evaluation)
- The College of Arts & Sciences does not apply any lower level (1000/2000 level) KH, HPRD, or MS credit toward your degree program. This applies to transfer credit and credit from GSU.
If credit is missing from your transfer evaluation:
- Check to be sure your final transcript has been received and reviewed by the Office of Admissions
- The Office of Admissions is located in 200 Sparks Hall. They can be reached at 404-651-2365.
