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.
