academic record as Transfer Credit(s) and to fulfill requirements
for graduation.
Only official transcript from other institutions may be used to
evaluate and/or award credit. To be eligible for evaluation, the
grade for the module must appear on the official transcript from
the institution. New students must request that an official
transcript from all previously attended institution be mailed to the
Office of the Registrar.
