Credits earned from previous education at another educational institution may be transferred to the permanent record of students registered at UTH Florida University subject to the limitations detailed below. A student must request an official transcript from that institution to be sent directly to the Registrar’s Office. Once the transcripts are received, they will be evaluated by the Academic Director or designee. Approval may be granted for the number of credit hours already completed, based on equivalency with courses in the student’s chosen academic program.
To evaluate credit course transferability, the student must first submit a written application to the Admissions Office. The official transcripts must be received by the Registrar’s Office prior to starting any evaluation. Students may, at their own discretion, submit additional documentation such as course syllabus, program outline, catalog, etc. to support the request.
Any application for credit transfer should be submitted to the Admissions Office no later than the end of the first week of class in an academic term. The student will receive a written notice for the credit(s) allowed and the adjusted tuition and program length within ten (10) business days of receipt of said transcripts.
- No credits will be granted for academic courses that received a grade lower than a “C”.
- The university does not accept transfer credit as a result of examinations or tests.
- The university does not accept transfer credit originating from work or life experience.
- The maximum percentage of course credits required for graduation that may be accepted as transferred credits is 60% for any undergraduate degree program and 40% for any graduate degree program.
In the event that credits are not accepted, the student has the right to make a written appeal to the Executive Director of UTH Florida University within one week of denial. The Executive Director will review the transcript and make a final determination within five (5) business days of the appeal’s receipt.
