How does credit transfer from one 性视界APP (USG) institution to another?
Board of Regents Policy 3.3.1 (Core Curriculum) states that 鈥Students completing any core curriculum course at one USG institution or through eCore will receive full credit for that course upon transfer to another USG institution within the same major.鈥
The transfer rules are covered in more depth in section 2.4.10 of the Academic and Student Affairs Handbook.
Students successfully completing a course in a sending institution’s Core IMPACTS domain will receive full credit in the equivalent Core IMPACTS domain for the course upon transfer to another USG institution as long as the number of credit hours in the Core IMPACTS domain at the two institutions is the same. If credit hours are different across the domains at the two institutions, excess credits in a domain at the sending institution should be assigned to a domain where the receiving institution has more credits.
The transfer of General Education/Core IMPACTS Curriculum credit is from Domain to Domain, not specifically course to course.
Here is an example:
A student takes PHIL 2010 Introduction to Philosophy (3 credits) to meet a Humanities domain requirement at Institution X, then transfers to Institution Y, which does not offer any philosophy courses in the Humanities domain. The student still gets 3 hours of credit in the Humanities domain at Institution Y according to the transfer agreement.
Students successfully completing a course in one institution鈥檚 Field of Study will receive full credit for the course upon transferring to another USG institution as long as the student retains the same major.
For courses that are not part of the General Education Core IMPACTS Curriculum or Field of Study, there are no system-wide rules regarding transfer. However, Georgia Transfer has a College Credit Transfer Tool that includes course transfer among USG institutions. You can enter the courses you have taken and see how they will transfer to other colleges and universities in the USG.
What is 鈥渞everse credit transfer?鈥
Most of the time when students transfer they are transferring credit from an institution they previously attended to one they plan to attend. With reverse credit transfer, students attending a new USG institution remain at that institution, but transfer credit back to an associate degree institution they previously attended with the goal of earning an associate degree. Students do not leave their current institutions or lose any of the credit they have earned at their current institutions.
