Transfer Credit  

Upon being admitted to Arkansas Tech University-Ozark Campus, your transcripts will be evaluated for transfer credit; the Ozark Campus will recognize transfer credit from U.S. regional accreditation associations. You must provide transcripts from every school you have attended.

Grades for transfer credit will appear on the Tech transcript as TA, TB, TC, TD, TW, etc.

All grades are calculated in the cumulative grade point average when reviewing admission requirements.

The equivalencies listed herein reflect the latest catalog grade point average when reviewing admission requirements. Some disciplines will prefer different requirements and/or may substitute equivalencies for their program.

The following are not accepted for general transfer credit:

  • Courses taken at a non-accredited school, or one whose accreditation is not recognized
  • Remedial/ developmental/ pre-college level courses
  • Professional development courses
  • Continuing education units

The following policy is effective July 7, 2010. ATU will recognize transfer credit from the same U.S. regional accreditation associations; along with, additional colleges listed by ADHE in ACTS. The ACTS courses will be the only transfer credit accepted from that institution. Acceptance of the course credit will be determined by the date the institution was formally recognized by ADHE, and the student's matriculation term that must coincide or follow the date of that recognition. Credit from U.S. colleges and universities not accredited by one of the six regional accreditation associations or listed by ADHE in ACTS will not be accepted for transfer credit. Credit from colleges or universities outside the U.S. presented for transfer credit will be considered on an individual basis. Transfer credit, although accepted by the university, is not guaranteed to be applicable toward meeting degree requirements for all programs offered by the university. Applicability of transfer credit to meet degree requirements depends on the major selected by the transfer student.
