Transfer Students and Courses

IF you have transferred from another university, or just have courses from another university to transfer, there are a few things to do/look for:

  1. Make sure that your FINAL transcript was sent form the other university. The registrar will only evaluate courses from a final transcript where the grades are present.
  2. AP courses and dual credit in high school – these STILL need to be sent to WCU again either through the official score report from College Board or the final transcript where the dual credit was completed.
  3. The registrar evaluates transfer courses based on courses that have already been transferred and evaluated (see transfer credit center on registrar’s page). If your transfer equivalency is not already established on this page, it is like your course will come through as a 199 (for ex. BIO 199, ENG 199, TRN 199). For some requirements this is ok (gen eds mostly), but if you need it to be a specific course (WRT 120, HIS 151) than you will need to apply for a transfer credit appeal.
  4. If you are transferring courses that do NOT fulfill specific requirements in your program, understand that these courses, while they appear on your record, do not count towards your degree. PLEASE discuss this with your advisor.
