6. Transfer Credit Evaluation

7. You will receive a transfer credit evaluation report from the UC Transfer Credit Evaluation Center. • This lists all of your credit transferring from your home institution and how they transfer to UC. • Courses listed as ‘Under Review’ are being reviewed for equivalency. You will receive an updated report when the course is evaluated. • Courses listed as “**” means that credit was applied, but there is no direct equivalent at UC. • Courses not appearing on this report have not yet been received. Be sure that all transcripts from all previously attended institutions were sent to UC.

10. Degree Audit FAQs • What should I do if I have credit that doesn’t appear on the degree audit? • It is possible that UC has not received your final transcript yet, or that it has been received but not yet been evaluated. • Transcript evaluation can take some time. • Contact Jamie Adkins at (513) 732-5294 if you have not yet received your transfer credit evaluation. • What does a grade of ‘PC’ mean? • This stands for “pending credit” and means that you will receive transfer credit for the course number assigned. • Transfer credit will count as earned hours but will not affect your GPA at UC. • Students may appeal decisions regarding course evaluation and applicability – please ask your advisor for clarification.

11. Placement Testing • UC Clermont requires that students take a placement exam in three areas: Math, English and Reading: • Students who have specified ACT or SAT scores may not need to take the English test. • Students who have credit from a regionally accredited institution in one or more of these subject areas may be exempt from taking the related exams. Coursework must transfer in as college-level in order to be exempt from the related exam. • Coursework must be evaluated and/or placement test must be taken prior to registration. • If your placement test requirement is in question, see an academic advisor as soon as possible to avoid delay in registration.

12. Placement Testing (con’t) Math Placement Testing Required for students who have not taken or transferred in a college level mathematics course. English Placement Testing If you do not have college credit for English Composition, you will need to take the English placement test in order to begin the English sequence at UC Clermont. • Students who have specified ACT or SAT scores may not need to take the English test Foreign Language Placement Testing If would like to test your skills in a foreign language, placement testing is available.
