Polytechnic welcomes transfer students from accredited colleges and universities, provided they have maintained a strong academic record. Students who have not completed two years of college work should submit official transcripts of previous college and high school grades, and SAT or ACT scores. Students who have completed two or more years of college need only submit official college transcripts.
If accepted, transfer students should meet with a member of the admissions staff and a departmental adviser to determine which credits are transferable. Students are required to submit their college catalog describing courses under consideration for transfer credit.
Transfer students accepted under the Undergraduate Waiver of Admissions Credentials Plan must submit official transcripts within 30 days of their first registration, or further registration will be prohibited.
Transfer credits will be evaluated prior to the end of the first semester the transfer student is enrolled at the University. Core courses are evaluated by the Office of Admissions. Upper level courses are evaluated by individual major and technical academic departments.
Transfer credit is awarded on the basis of current standards and curriculum. Therefore, it is possible that credits Polytechnic had previously awarded for courses taken at other universities may no longer be granted at this time. Transfer credit will not be considered for any course with less than a C grade. Any student who completes a course in residence at Polytechnic for which transfer credit has already been granted will automatically forfeit the transfer credit for that course.
In certain instances, course requirements may be waived for students who demonstrate sufficient knowledge of a specific course content through either oral or written examinations given by the appropriate department. When course requirements are waived, the student will not receive credit for the course, but must substitute a more advanced course to satisfy the degree requirement.
The grades for transfer courses are not included in the computation of the Polytechnic grade-point average. New transfer students may be admitted on a part-time or full-time basis and may be required to take placement examinations in writing and/or math.
