Course Transfer Guidelines

The School of Biological Sciences requires students to follow these guidelines regarding transfer courses from another institution.  If you have questions about this process, please reach out to an academic advisor.

Please note:

  • All responses will be sent to the requestor's UMail address.
  • It may take up to ONE WEEK (5 business days) for your request to be processed.
  • Please do not send multiple requests for the same course.
  • Requests will be processed in the order that they were received.
  • Courses that appear on Transferology and the In-State Transfer Guide cannot be re-petitioned as other BIOL courses. If you submit a petition regarding these courses, it will not be reviewed.
