How can I find out which courses satisfy the Biology major requirements as well as the University's General Education Requirements?
The initial evaluation of transfer courses and credit is made by the Admissions Office. Transfer credit is awarded for courses that are completed with a grade of "C" or better and are equivalent to courses offered at the University. Semester credits and course units are accepted at the value placed on each course by the sending institution. Quarter hour credits are converted to the semester hour according to the formula: One quarter hour equals 2/3 semester hour (1 Q.H. = 2/3 S.H.). Transferred courses which are used to satisfy General Education program. Your advisor will determine which courses meet major program requirements. Courses which are not chosen to meet General Education or major requirements will be applied toward satisfying general electives.
