Transfer Credit for Current Students

Current students planning to study at another University of Minnesota college through the Multi-Institution program or at another college, should submit their proposed courses for transfer approval in advance.

Use the Course Evaluation Form to obtain prior approval.

Credit for coursework taken at other institutions will be transferred subject to the following considerations:

1) The instructional institution is regionally accredited and the mission includes providing courses that are intended for transfer to baccalaureate programs.

2) The transfer coursework compares in nature, content, and level to courses offered by the UMM curriculum.

3) The transfer coursework is appropriate and applicable to the degree at UMM.

Regional accreditation usually serves as the primary criterion for determining the transferability of course work from another institution. Credits from Minnesota Technical Colleges may be considered for transfer when appropriate to a student's degree program. Credit is not normally transferred from specialized or proprietary institutions, military schools, or industry-based education programs.

It is the responsibility of the Transfer Specialist at UMM to identify those institutions from which credit can be transferred and to determine whether course work is college level. If questions arise with regard to transfer of specific courses, the Transfer Specialist will confer with the appropriate discipline faculty.

UMM accepts the validity of an accredited transfer institution's decisions regarding credit value, grades, content as described, and level of instruction (introductory or advanced) of its courses and transfers those courses accordingly.

UMM accepts transfer coursework from foreign institutions of higher education which is applicable to the student's degree program. The Transfer Specialist has the responsibility of determining the level, credit value, and grading to be recorded on the UMM transcript from material provided by the foreign institution that describes the coursework.
