Transfer Courses
Transfer courses taken after initial enrollment need prior approval. If you decide to take courses at another institution during the Summer or while on leave from the University you must file a Prior Approval form to determine which University and/or major requirements will be fulfilled upon completion of the course. If the course or courses are to count toward your major/college requirement you must see your departmental advisor/college advisor for approval and their signature.
