Application

UMT welcomes applicants who have taken courses or completed degree programs at other institutions. Transfer students must complete the normal application process for application.

Transfer Credits

Courses successfully completed (a grade of "C" or better) at other post-secondary institutions and training received in the military may be eligible for transfer credit. For more information, see Military Application and Transfer Credits page.

The following table illustrates the requirements and limits on transfer credit. These policies are consistent with the accreditation policies of the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC, www.detc.org).

In addition to post-secondary courses and military training, relevant professional and work experience may qualify for transfer credit to the undergraduate degree programs. A student seeking credit for work experience must submit a succinct written justification and provide documentary support for consideration by the Admissions Committee. A maximum of 30 semester credit-hours may be granted.

Course Waiver

Some students may possess extraordinary life experiences that may enable them to waive some courses. Students must submit a written petition requesting that a course be waived, offering a succinct justification for the waiver and providing documentary support for consideration by the Admissions Committee. The Admissions Committee will determine whether or not to waive courses in areas where students have demonstrated expertise, consistent with the accreditation standards of the DETC.

No more than four ABA degree courses (12 credit-hours) can be waived. No more than two core BBA courses (6 credit-hours) can be waived. No more than two courses (6 credit-hours) in the BBA major area of concentration may be waived. For the Graduate Division, no more than two courses (6 credit-hours) may be waived.

Course waivers may be granted that include the provision of transfer credit. In some cases, the student must take substitute courses.
