The University actively seeks to recognize college- level academic work completed by its enrolling students at Department of Education-recognized accredited institutions. All previous coursework must be completed prior to attending UAT to be considered for possible transfer credit. Transfer credit may be awarded for previous college-level courses that a student has successfully completed up to ninety (90) undergraduate credit hours towards a bachelor’s degree, thirty (30) undergraduate credit hours towards an associate’s degree and fifteen (15) graduate credit hours towards a master’s degree.
The following restrictions apply: A maximum of 90 credits may be transferred from any combination of two- and four-year institutions. Transfer credit will only be approved for courses that apply to a student’s program of study. Students must have attained a grade of C (2.0) or better in undergraduate coursework for credits to be awarded. Graduate-level coursework will be evaluated on an individual basis; credit for electives is limited but direct equivalents will be maximized. No credit will be awarded for any courses worth less than one credit hour or courses with sub-100-level course codes.
Previous academic coursework and test scores are evaluated by the University upon submittal of unofficial or official college transcripts. It is the student’s responsibility to request official transcripts to be sent to the Registrar. Students may use the College Transcript Request document, which can be downloaded in PDF form on the Intranet or requested from the Office of Admissions. Although unofficial transcripts may be used to generate a Transcript Credit Evaluation, official transcripts from all previously attended institutions from which credit was awarded must be on file with the Registrar prior to the end of the student’s first semester at UAT. Students will be notified via email of the results of their evaluations. Credits will not be made official until the student has enrolled. A one-time transfer credit fee of $100.00 will be charged to the student’s account. Students who switch to another degree program or re-enroll may have a re-evaluation of previously awarded transfer credits if the credits were earned prior to the student’s original start date. Please refer to the Re- Entry and Degree Change sections for more information.
Grade point averages will be computed based only on grades received for courses completed at University of Advancing Technology. Transfer credits will be awarded at the discretion of the University.
Veterans Administration Transfer Credits
Every veteran who applies for educational benefits through the University must provide official copies of academic transcripts from all previously attended institutions for evaluation. Veterans must follow the guidelines for applying for transfer credit outlined in the Transfer Credit for Previous Education section. Enrollment certification will not be completed and sent to the US Veterans Administration (VA) until this step is accomplished. The VA has ruled that all prior education at the post-secondary level must be evaluated by the University and transfer credit granted for applicable courses. University of Advancing Technology will follow the regulations regarding the certification of veterans in compliance with the VA.
