Transfer Credit Policy 1. Students transferring within the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) should consult the College of Business and Economics advisor and the current USHE Transfer Credit Guide to determine which credits will be accepted by Weber State. Application of USHE credit toward specific College of Business and Economics' requirements is determined by department chairs and the College advisor. All transfer students are advised to meet with the College of Business and Economics advisor as soon as possible after admission. Only courses with a grade of C- or higher are eligible for credit. 2. The College of Business and Economics may, or may not, accept credit from institutions not covered by the USHE Transfer Credit Guide. Students wishing to transfer non-general education credit from institutions not covered by the Transfer Credit Guide must submit documentation which allows the College advisor and department chairs to assess the content of courses taken. This documentation may include: catalogs or bulletins; course outlines or syllabi; and transcripts. In the majority of cases, course credit taken at institutions accredited by the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business will be accepted and applied to the College's graduation requirements. 3. The College may require validation for courses taken at other institutions before credit is applied to College requirements. This validation will consist of either: passing a special exam; or completing the next course in a related sequence with a grade of C or better. Validation is required in all instances where upper division credit is sought for lower division course work taken at another institution. 4. Students are reminded that the Weber State catalog states, "Acceptance of credit should not be confused with its application. Transfer credit may or may not apply to Weber State's graduation requirements, regardless of the number of credits transferred. Credit other than that intended wholly to meet general education requirements, will be applied to Weber State's specific degree program requirements upon the recommendation of the appropriate department chair." This means credit that is accepted by Weber State may, or may not, apply to specific requirements within the College of Business and Economics. 5. Students transferring from institutions outside the U.S. must have their transcripts evaluated by World Education Services before credit will be considered by the College. Student Services Interdisc.
