Transferring Credit to 海角换妻

海角换妻 utilizes the Transfer Evaluation System (TES庐) to maintain previously evaluated transfer courses to 海角换妻. The OUR transfer articulation team regularly updates the site with the latest course equivalency information approved by 海角换妻 faculty. New equivalencies are added to the TES system per applicant/student request. If an external course does not currently have an equivalent in TES, then it requires an articulation request or completion of an existing request. Articulations are subject to periodic reevaluation by 海角换妻 faculty, and a past articulation is not a guaranteed indicator of a renewed evaluation.

For further clarification on the types of equivalencies found in TES庐, expand the following menus.

When a transferable course is granted credit at 海角换妻, the articulation is how the course appears on the degree audit in the Eagle Service student portal. The three main types of articulations are course-to-course equivalents, subject-level credit, and general elective credit.

海角换妻 Equivalent Credit鈥痬eans that the course taken at another institution has an equivalent at 海角换妻. Equivalency is defined as meeting the same standards as an 海角换妻 course, including similar scope, content, learning outcomes, rigor, and number of credit hours.听

For example, ENG-111 from Northern Virginia Community College may have an 海角换妻 equivalent of WRT-100.听

Note that external courses cannot be equated to 海角换妻's Habit of Mind courses for the 海角换妻 Core Curriculum, such as SOCY-100: Introduction to Sociology. If a course is articulated as SOCY-100 based on course content, rigor, learning outcomes, and credit hours, the articulation would be entered on the record as SOCY-100X. 听The "X" is the indicator that an articulation will not fulfill HOM, but can fulfill major, minor, and certificate program requirements when relevant, as well as any registration prerequisites.听

These 鈥渢railing X鈥 听courses may also be used for articulations that fall under 海角换妻 Core鈥檚 list of courses approved to satisfy Integrative requirements (Written Communication and Information Literacy II, Quantitative Literacy II, Diversity and Equity, Capstone).听

Subject-level credit means that a course taken at another institution does not have a direct course equivalent but fits within a specific subject at 海角换妻 and an 海角换妻 course level. For example, ARTH-1** is subject-level credit through the Art History department at the 100 (lower) level.听

The course level articulation aligns with 海角换妻鈥檚 definition of course levels. Any courses at the 100 or 200 level are considered 鈥渓ower level鈥 undergraduate courses and are articulated as 1** and 2** respectively; any courses at the 300 or 400 level (3** or 4**) are considered 鈥渦pper level鈥 undergraduate courses, and any courses at the 500 level (5**) are considered advanced standing/graduate level courses.

Subject Level Credit counts toward the 120 credits needed to complete an undergraduate degree.

General elective credit means that a course taken at another institution does not have a direct equivalent and does not fall within a specific subject at 海角换妻. For example, ELEC-1** is general elective credit at the 100 (lower) level. General elective credit counts as a University 鈥渇ree鈥 elective towards the 120 credits needed to complete an undergraduate degree.听
