The language in B, 1, is proposed to address our charge for equivalency of transferred courses.

The language in B, 2, is proposed to address our charge for transferability of remedial courses and applicability of remedial courses for residency: 

III. Transfer Credit

At the University there are no age limits on transfer credits. A department may set age limits for credits applied toward its degrees and programs by obtaining approval through the University curriculum process. Chairs of those departments that set age limits may make exceptions for individual students.

Transfer credit is awarded in accordance with the following stipulations:

A. Transcripts must be submitted to the Admissions office from all previously attended colleges and universities. Receipt of the transcript is noted on the student's admission file.

B. If the sending institution is regionally accredited, all credits are entered onto the student's Weber State University transcript.  Regarding course content, in instances where the content of a transferred course may be comparable to a WSU course, relevant department chairs will determine whether the transfer course may be substituted for the WSU course.  When applicable the established formula for quarter to semester conversion will be applied.
