Isn’t that
what every transfer student wants to know? Will the classes that you took at
your previous school (or schools) transfer to the U and clear graduation
requirements?
Well, if you
have attended a Utah State System of Higher Education (USHE) institution, then
the answers to this question are easy to find out.
First, all
classes from USHE schools that are 1000-level or higher will transfer to the U.
Second, you
can also find out which classes you’ve completed will fill specific requirements
for General Education and your major at the U by going to the U of U Admission
Office’s online Getting Ready Guides:
Use the drop
down menus to select your school and major.
The charts you will find show a class by class match of major
requirements at the U (the right side of the chart) and equivalent courses from
your USHE school (left side).
The Guides
also provide information about which of your USHE transfer courses will fill
specific U of U General Education requirements.
By pulling up
these charts along with the academic plans for your major in the U of U General
Catalog: http://catalog.utah.edu/, you can have a very clear picture of
your progress toward graduation once you transfer to the U.
Savvy
students at Utah schools access the Guides long before they are actually ready
to transfer. They use the Guides to plan the courses they are taking at their
transfer school, so they never have to say that other common refrain of transfer
students everywhere, “Wait….I didn’t need to take that class?”.
