- courses in which you received grades of C– or higher.
In addition, of the 64 total credits, the following are accepted:
- 8 credits of professional coursework (for example, business, counseling, and teacher preparation)

You may not receive transfer credit the semester before graduation.
Credits from foreign schools. If you have attended colleges and universities outside the United States and Canada you must submit official evaluations of your academic work by the Center for Educational Documentation or a comparable agency. Using these evaluations, we will determine whether the work can be transferred to the undergraduate program.
Transfer Credits Earned While a Degree Candidate
Courses taken elsewhere after you are admitted to the program may be accepted as transfer credit if you submit a transfer credit petition (download* form) to the Undergraduate Office before registering and it is approved. The total transfer credits may not exceed 64.
