Q. What are the requirements for transferring credits?
A. Students applying for admission to UF must be in good academic standing at the
accredited college-level institution which they most recently attended
or attend prior to application. Good academic standing generally implies
a cumulative minimum GPA of 2.0. A student may challenge his/her
admission status by appealing to the Student Academic Standards
Committee. Only courses that have been completed with a “C” or better
will be transferred into UF. Your Transfer Coordinator can complete an
“unofficial” transcript evaluation if you have an official transcript at
the time of your visit, but an “official” evaluation can only be
completed by the Registrar’s Office after you’ve applied.
Q. How many hours will transfer from another institution?
A. Up to 62 approved semester hours will
transfer from a two-year institution. There is no limit to the number of
approved semester hours that will transfer from a four-year
institution. However, bachelor’s degree students must complete at least
30 semester hours of UF coursework toward the total 124-semester hour
degree requirement, and associate’s degree students must complete at
least 15 semester hours of UF coursework toward the total 62-semester
hour degree requirement in order to graduate from UF. In addition, all
programs require a minimum number of hours in the major to be taken at
Findlay.
