7. University Transfer
Students begin a degree-
level program at a college
and then transfer to a
university to complete the
degree
Courses are modeled on
university courses
Completion of UT courses
does not guarantee
admission to the university
—it is still competitive!

8. Transfer Credit
• Transfer: the movement
of students between post-
secondary institutions
• Transfer credit: the
credit received for the
successful completion of
prior post-secondary
studies

9. Transfer Jargon
 Types of Post-secondary Institutions
◦ Sending Institution – the transfer institution/college at
which you took courses (ie. Lakeland College)
◦ Receiving Institution – the institution/university to
which you intend to transfer (ie. U of A)
 Types of Credit
◦ Specified Credit – there is a course that is an “exact”
equivalent at another institution (ex. BIOL 107)
◦ Unspecified Credit – the course is transferable but
there is not an exact match (ex. BIOL 1xx)
