Can transfer credit be used to fulfill prerequisites and other program requirements?
Yes, transfer credit may be used to fulfill either prerequisites or program requirements. However, there is a limit of three transfer courses that may be used to fulfill concentration requirements (not including prerequisites). Your transcript must show that transfer credit has been awarded for the specific course requirement you wish to fulfill. If general or departmental transfer credit is awarded for a course you have taken elsewhere, you may bring the course description to Cathy for review and possible inclusion in your OS program. Please visit the Undergraduate Admissions Office (1220 SAB) for additional information on transfer credit. Please be aware that a maximum of 60 transfer credits are allowed to count toward your LSA degree. Also be aware that once you reach junior status at UM (55 or more credits), you may not transfer credit from a community college.
