The eligibility of your transfer credits depends on the subject matter of each credit and the accreditation status of the institution that awarded each credit. Credits in academic subjects are usually eligible for transfer if they were awarded by an institution accredited by one of the regional agencies recognized by the American Council on Education.
The total number of hours transferred will appear on your UAB transcript. However, the academic department offering your major will determine if each course will apply toward your degree.
If you are transferring from an accredited two-year institution, you may be able to transfer up to one half of the requirements to complete your degree.
If you are transferring from an accredited four-year institution, the number of hours you may transfer is unlimited. However, remedial, technical, vocational, and orientation credits are typically not considered.
Once you are accepted, Undergraduate Admission will send you a report detailing the credits that have transferred. Your academic advisor will then determine which credits will apply toward your degree requirements.
