Transfer Credit Acceptance Policy

Credit is transferred for only those courses completed with grades of “C” (2.0) or better. Credit is awarded for college-level coursework completed at a U.S. institution of higher education accredited by one of the following institutional accreditors or its equivalent from a foreign institution:

  • Western Association of Schools and Colleges, Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC)
  • New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE)
  • Higher Learning Commission (HLC)
  • Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE)
  • Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU)
  • Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC)
  • WASC Senior College and University Commission     

Foreign institutions must be recognized by the Ministry of Education in that country. Courses must be similar in nature and content to courses in our undergraduate curriculum to be transferred. Courses that are remedial, technical, vocational or doctrinal in nature are not transferable to an undergraduate degree.

Students accepted for admission to the University whose transcripts, score reports and other necessary documents have been received will be sent evaluation sheets listing all credits granted in the transfer.

The University of Tampa has articulation agreements with all community colleges in Florida, as well as community colleges in other states. For a complete list, visit the Transfer Admissions page at www.ut.edu/admissions.

Transfer credit equivalencies are listed online for Advanced Level and Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination.
