Acceptance of transfer credit is limited to academic credit earned at a regionally accredited institutions or through the appropriate accrediting agency for institutions of higher education abroad. Students should bear in mind that many community and technical colleges offer both academic and non-academic (vocational/technical) courses. Students transferring from Louisiana public universities and community colleges聽may find some course equivalencies on the
Once institution accreditation is verified, determination of course equivalents is based on course descriptions obtained from the transfer institution鈥檚 catalog and by other means as necessary. Students may be asked to聽submit a syllabus for a course聽if more detailed information is required.
When appropriate, transfer courses are articulated as 杏吧传媒 courses.聽 However, some courses, for various reasons,聽will not聽transfer聽as specific courses, but as hours earned.聽 Whether the courses are degree applicable will likely depend on the major.
Course abbreviations and聽numbers that include 鈥淴s鈥� represent courses that do not transfer as specific courses.聽 For example, a freshman mathematics course taken at another college or university may receive a MATH 1XX designation.聽 This means that the course content does not match sufficiently with any mathematics course offered at 杏吧传媒.聽 In this case, the student will receive credit for a mathematics course at the 100 level.聽 The mathematics credit may or may not satisfy degree requirements.聽Likewise, a course receiving an XXXX designation indicates that the course is in a discipline not available at 杏吧传媒.聽 A transfer architecture course, for example, ARCH 1001, would receive an XXXX 1XX designation since 杏吧传媒 does not offer any courses in architecture.聽 In this instance, the student聽will receive freshman-level聽credit for the course.
Freshman and sophomore (lower-level) courses may be articulated interchangeably.聽 For example, a 200-level Calculus I course transferring from another institution may be identified as equivalent to 杏吧传媒鈥� MATH 165, Calculus I course.聽 Likewise, a 100-level course may be identified as equivalent to a 200-level 杏吧传媒 course.聽 聽Upper-level courses, that is, those designated as junior (300) and senior (400) level courses are treated the same way.聽 However, only under special circumstances will lower-level courses articulate as upper-level courses.
Credits for military service are awarded for only those courses designated by the American Council on Education (ACE) as lower-level (L) and upper-level (U) academic.聽 As practice, the University typically awards freshman-level credits for military courses designated as lower-level and junior-level credits for those designated as upper-level.聽 To the extent possible, military service courses are articulated by discipline, but very seldom as specific 杏吧传媒 courses (e.g., BSAD 1XX, MLSC 1XX, MNGT 3XX, etc.).聽 Human performance education activity credits are awarded for each six months of active service up to a maximum of eight semester hours of credit.
Applicability of any of the transfer credits mentioned above聽to 杏吧传媒 degree programs is determined by the academic departments and colleges.
