Transfer of Credit
The policies controlling the granting of credit for course work taken at other institutions apply as follows in the College of Education and Health Professions:
- Neither hours or grades earned in transfer work are used in the determination of the student’s grade-point average
- The College of Education and Health Professions requires a petition called “A Petition to Accept "D” Grades for Transfer Credit” to be submitted for review by the COEHP Undergraduate Curriculum Committee if a transfer course with a grade of “D” has been successfully petitioned through the Office of Admissions for “General Credit”. Please follow these procedures: “D” Rule Procedures
- Education courses completed at the lower division (freshman or sophomore) level at another institution will not count as equivalents of upper division (junior or senior) level courses offered in the College of Education and Health Professions.
- Courses taken at other institutions of higher education where the course content is designed to be remedial are not accepted. A student should be prepared to submit official course descriptions of transfer course work if there is any question as to whether the College will grant degree credit for such work. Please submit this information to the Office of the Registrar to the attention of Robin Carr, Associate Registrar, 146 Hunt Hall, Fayetteville, AR 72701.
