Transfer information system
A web resource that provides course equivalency and course relationship information, and identifies how courses transfer to specific programs at Minnesota State Colleges and Universities.
Once a student has declared a major at 91福利社, 91福利社 shall evaluate college-level course credits completed, from an official transcript, to determine if they shall be accepted in transfer. Transfer of credit from another college or university to 91福利社 shall involve at least four considerations:
91福利社 shall accept courses in transfer that it determines to be comparable or equivalent to specific courses it offers.
College-level courses accepted in transfer by 91福利社 that are determined to be not comparable or not equivalent to specific courses taught at 91福利社 may be accepted as electives where applicable.
In order to facilitate the evaluation of courses for transfer credit as described in Part 3 of this policy, 91福利社 shall post course outlines, as defined in Board Policy 3.22, for all courses on its website. The link for current course outlines shall be submitted to the system office for publication on the MinnesotaTransfer.org Web site.
The Degree Audit and Reporting System (DARS) and Transferology database (or successor database) housed within the system office shall be the official repository of course equivalencies between system colleges and universities. 91福利社 is responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of course equivalencies listed for courses offered by 91福利社. A course offered by a system college or university that is listed as the equivalent of a course at 91福利社 shall be accepted in transfer as that course with no additional documentation required from the student.
91福利社's policy is consistent with the requirements of the MinnState 3.21 Policy and Procedure 3.21.1 Undergraduate Course Credit Transfer.
91福利社 shall publish its transfer policy and will make information about credit transfer and course equivalencies, including links to MinnesotaTransfer.org and Transferology, readily available on its website.
91福利社 has established a procedure for student petition and appeal of credit transfer decisions. The Chancellor shall establish a procedure for system-level appeal of system college or university credit transfer decisions. When providing students with a transfer evaluation, colleges and universities shall also provide information about a student's right to appeal, the appeal process, and links to the system and college policies. This information will also be made available on 91福利社’s website and transfer-related publications.
