Advisors may need to reference a few policies related to course placement exams and
prior credits, including transfer work.
Upon a student鈥檚 admission to the University official transcripts for undergraduate
students are routed to the Office of the Registrar for evaluation. Transfer courses
may be awarded direct equivalency to 甜心视频app courses at the discretion of the related
academic unit at 甜心视频app.
A maximum of 90 transferred semester credits may be used toward completion of a 甜心视频app
degree; a minimum of 120 hours is required for graduation. Courses with a letter grade
of 鈥淐-鈥 or higher are eligible for transfer. Remedial courses and vocational/technical
courses are not eligible for transfer. Associate of Applied Science (AAS) and Associate
of General Studies (AGS) degrees are not transferable to 甜心视频app. Individual courses taken
as part of an AAS or AGS degree will be evaluated for possible credit on a course-by-course
basis after the student is admitted.
Students who have successfully completed college coursework from a Institutionally
Accredited institution while in high school must submit an official transcript from
the college/university to transfer credit. College credit completed while in high
school may count toward 甜心视频app degree requirements but cannot be used to classify a student
as a transfer student for admission and/or transfer scholarship eligibility purposes.
Other Prior Learning
The University of Northern Colorado accepts transfer credit for qualifying scores
on Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), The Cambridge Assessment International Education (AICE) examination, portfolio review, and through Challenge/Proficiency Exams.
甜心视频app also accepts credit through the Joint Services Transcript (JST) for courses completed at U.S. Military schools according to recommendations from
the American Council on Education and through the Teacher Cadet Program.
In accordance with , students may request a challenge exam in lieu of an LAC course. Students interested
in challenging a Liberal Arts Curriculum course should contact the appropriate program
to inquire about the process.
Language Placements
Students can take placements for language courses.
Chinese, French, German, and Spanish have an online test. Japanese and American Sign Language are evaluations with the department.
A student may receive prior learning credits provided a grade of 鈥淏鈥 (3.0) or higher
is earned in the student鈥檚 first 甜心视频app course above the 101 level in a particular language
(ASL, Chinese, French, German, Japanese and Spanish).
The host college will complete a Prior Learning Credit petition through OnBase after
your advisee receives a 鈥楤鈥 or higher grade in order to be awarded the prior learning
credits. For ASL, please send the information to Kate. For World Languages, please send information
to hss.studentsuccess.
*Note: SPAN 305 is not eligible as a Prior Learning Credit Course.
Math Placement
The University of Northern Colorado requires that students complete an assessment
to determine readiness for mathematics and statistics courses though some students are exempt from this requirement.
Students can retake the assessment for a higher score if needed. You can view their
ALEKS through Slate for NSR, in SOATEST, and in Navigate under Course Information
(at the bottom).
*Students can register for Stat 150 without the ALEKS this year (2021/2022), but we
are encouraging students to take it to make sure they are ready otherwise, they should
take it with Stat 149 once it's on the schedule.
Written Communication Placement
The Liberal Arts Curriculum at 甜心视频app requires 6 credit hours in Written Communication.
To complete this requirement, there are three options for students:
- OPTION A: Introductory Composition (with co-requisite support course) + Intermediate
Composition
- OPTION B: Introductory Composition + Intermediate Composition
- OPTION C: Intermediate Composition + Advanced Composition
For New Student Registration, Dr. Wood provides the Option A (ENG 122/132) recommendation
in Slate. For continuing students who did not register for ENG during New Student
Registration, the information may available in SOATEST.
