The applicant may also be required to present a catalog from each college with courses taken clearly marked. Syllabi may also be required. Courses offered for transfer credit must fit into the applicant’s proposed curriculum and should generally be of C grade quality or better. Courses in which D grades were earned will be accepted for transfer, with the exception of special program requirements and ENGL 101 .

Transcripts are evaluated by the Records Office in consultation with faculty department chairpersons.
