English Transfer Credit Request

1
IMPORTANT! BEFORE YOU SUBMIT THIS FORM:

In order for us to consider whether or not we will accept your course for transfer credit, we require a current or recent (within two years) full syllabus for said course.

Please upload the course syllabus in its entirety when prompted later in this form. Course descriptions alone are not sufficient. In the syllabus, we are specifically looking for all of the following information:

course description

course objectives

required readings

detailed schedule of assignements*

and descriptions of assignments*

If needed, we may also request to see work produced, most likely for transfer requests for 76-101 Interpretation & Argument (or any of the First-Year Writing courses).

If your course syllabus does not include this information, your request will be returned to you, and you will be asked to provide more information, which, in turn, will slow down the evaluation and processing time of your request.

Thank you.

*especially important for transfer credit for 76-101 Intepretation & Argument (or any of the First-Year Writing courses, i.e. 76-102, 76-106, 76-107, 76-108)
