If you are planning to use courses taken at another institution to meet your Engineering requirements, the transfer credit must be approved by both the University (through the Transfer Credit office in Old Union) and the School of Engineering PRIOR to your final quarter.

Requests for transfer credit will not be considered in the student's final quarter.

Be sure to have completely filled out the petition form AND your program sheet prior to handing them in.

Transfer credit petitions involving Math, Science, Technology in Society, and/or Fundamentals courses require approval by the Senior Associate Dean for Student Affairs, or by the Assistant Director for Undergraduate Studies.

Transfer credit petitions involving Depth courses require approval by your Major Advisor or Departmental Advisor; students are advised to check with the departmental Student Services office for guidance.

1. Point your favorite browser to the following URL:
