UVSC accepts transfer credit from Colleges and Universities with an accreditation from the following list of Regional Accrediting Bodies, as long as the courses taken are college level and the grades received are "C-" or higher:

		Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA)
		Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges (NASC)
		North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA)
		New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc. - Commission on Institutions of Higher Education (NEASC-CIHE)

Transfer courses are posted as semester hours with the grades earned, but are not calculated in the GPA. It is the student's responsibility to contact previous colleges they have attended and request official transcripts of their college courses to be sent to UVSC's Admissions Office at the following address:

UVSC
Attn: Admissions Office MC-106
800 West University Parkway
Orem, UT 84058-5999

Transcripts accepted as official by the UVSC Admissions Office are automatically sent to the Transfer Services Office for evaluation and posting. The average processing time of the transcript is one week from receipt.

Due to the high volume of transcript evaluations, it is your responsibility to contact us in order to find out the results. Do not expect UVSC to contact you.

The Transfer Services Office may request the student to supply a catalog, bulletin, or course outline(s) from colleges attended to assist in determining the transferability of specific courses.

Course Substitution

If subject content is equivalent, lower division (1000 or 2000 level) courses transferred from other institutions may be substituted by departments for UVSC lower-division (1000 or 2000 level) courses. However, these courses will not satisfy upper-division credit-hour requirements. Upper division transfer credits may substitute in for lower division classes. The baccalaureate degree requires a minimum of 40 hours of upper-division credit.

Military Evaluation

Military courses are evaluated from the following forms/transcripts:

DD 214* - Member Form Copy

*These forms must be submitted to UVSC's Veterans Office for processing and evaluation.
