  4. Coursework related to the curriculum in a specific major must be evaluated by the relevant Department Chair.
  5. At the discretion of the Department Chair, courses that are not equivalent in both credit hours and content of required courses within an academic major, may be substituted for/accepted as technical electives.
  6. A student who has earned an associate degree will be considered to have met all associate-level general education requirements, unless any course(s) are prerequisites to coursework within the academic major.
  7. A student who has earned a bachelor’s degree will be considered to have met all bachelor-level general education requirements, unless any course(s) are prerequisites to coursework within the academic major.
  8. A maximum of 46 quarter (30 semester) transfer credits may be accepted for an associate degree program, 58 quarter (38 semester) transfer credits for an Applied Technical Studies associate degree program, 42 quarter (28 semester) transfer credits for a bachelor’s degree program, and 4 quarter (3 semester) transfer credits for a master’s degree program.
