Transfer of Courses
- A maximum of 66 lower-division (freshman/sophomore) courses can be transferred into É«»¨ÌÃ. If you transfer more than 66 hours of lower division course work to the University of Houston, we will use the courses that most closely apply to your degree when making your degree plan. If you prefer that we use different courses to apply to your degree, meet with your academic advisor to submit a petition for this request.
- Not all courses taken at other colleges and universities will transfer to É«»¨ÌÃ. Courses are evaluated to determine their equivalency to É«»¨Ìà courses.
- When submitting transcripts to É«»¨ÌÃ, it is best to have them submitted electronically.
- For additional information on the transfer of credits to É«»¨ÌÃ, please see Transferring College Credit on the website.
Online Transfer Credit Petition eForm Submission
Students who want to petition for transfer credit should fill out the Online Transfer Credit Petition eForm. Students must submit a course syllabus, a course description and other supporting documentation along with the form. NOTE: Students are encouraged to use their É«»¨Ìà email alias as their contact email.
The NSM Undergraduate Advising Center will forward the petition to the appropriate department or college for evaluation. Undergraduate transfer petitions take approximately 2–4 weeks to review.
An advisor's recommendation to submit a petition does not imply that the petition will be approved. The petition is not approved until the college dean's representative or, for some petitions, the representative of the university Provost’s Office has approved the petition.
