REASONS COURSES ARE NOT ACCEPTED IN TRANSFER • Courses that do not apply to the student’s program or major at the receiving institution: • Student changed program or major • Student has more credits than are needed for the program or major • Courses with a grade of “D” are often not accepted if the student’s GPA is below 2.0. • Courses that were in progress or were taken after the student submitted the transcript. • Courses that were taken more than once.
REASONS COURSES WERE NOT ACCEPTED IN TRANSFER Source: Review of selected transcripts
NEXT STEPS ON TRANSFER REPORTING • Transfer rates • More complete information on transfers from the system to other institutions • Identify sources of comparative data on transfer
