Presented to the University Forum 4/19/95 . Amended by  \nBUCC 2/2/00 . Presented to the University Forum 2/9/00 . Amended by BUCC 1/28/04 . Reported to the University Forum 2/4/04 .

Reported to the University Forum 9/26/18 .  \nResponsible Office: Academic Affairs and Enrollment Mangement  \n1. Purpose  \nThe purposes of this policy are to facilitate the transfer of undergraduate and graduate students and their prior learning to Commonwealth University and to ensure that students can complete their education without unnecessary duplication of coursework. Further, this policy is intended to assist non-diploma and non-degree-holding students who have earned college-level credits from a previously attended PA community college earn an associate degree or other credential by “reverse transferring” their current Commonwealth University credits back to their PA community college.  \n2. Scope  \nCommonwealth University is committed to maximizing the acceptance and application of collegelevel credits awarded by postsecondary institutions with institutionally recognized accreditation. This student transfer policy operates in accordance with PASSHE Policy (1999-01-A, July 14, 2021) to ensure that “competencies and learning outcomes developed and documented through prior learning are the basis of recognition of transfer credit.” In keeping with the recommendations of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) and other public policy advocates for transfer students, Commonwealth University is committed to procedures and practices that enable transfer students to “complete their education without unnecessary repetition of learning successfully completed at another institution.”  \n3. Definitions, Roles and Responsibilities  \n3.1 Transfer Student: An undergraduate transfer student to Commonwealth University has graduated from high school or earned a General Education Development (GED) diploma and has attempted one or more college courses at a post-secondary institution with institutionally recognized accreditations. Students who have taken college credits through dual enrollment during high school will “transfer” in credits to the University, however they will be classified as “new first year students” rather than transfer students.  \n3.2 Transcript - Official v. Unofficial: Undergraduate students transferring credits from another institution to Commonwealth University can initially provide the Admissions Office with unofficial transcripts from all previous institutions during the application process. Unofficial transcripts should clearly indicate the student’s full name, college name, course prefixes, numbers, earned credits, grades for each course and the cumulative GPA. An unofficial transcript may be used for an unofficial, preliminary transfer credit evaluation.  \nOnce an undergraduate student enrolls at CU, all official, final college transcripts from each college attended must be sent to the Admissions Office. An official transcript is marked as such and carries security enhancements. It is sent directly from one institution to another institution and must be delivered to the receiving institution electronically or ina sealed envelope for credit transfer. An unofficial transcript is often printed from a student portal, has little security, may be marked as “unofficial” and is commonly issued directly to the student and may not be used for credit transfer.  \nGraduate students transferring credits from another institution to Commonwealth University must provide the Admissions Office with official transcripts from all previous institutions.  \n3.2.1 Undergraduate international students may submit unofficial transcripts during the application process from","cbCaivRCi3jNNeqn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivRCi3jNNeqn","pdf",520866,15,"English","# Purpose\n# Scope\n# Definitions, Roles and Responsibilities\n## Transfer Student\n## Transcript - Official v.
