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.
Want a quick, simple way to see which credits will transfer? If you’re transferring from an Alabama public two-year community college, check the innovative STARS (Statewide Articulation Reporting System) Web database. You can select a major and access a list of community college/core curriculum courses that will apply to that particular degree.
