You are considered a transfer student if you have attended another university following high school graduation (not including classes taken during the summer immediately following high school graduation).
How many of my credits will transfer?
- Credit earned from regionally accredited colleges and universities is generally transferable if a grade of C or better has been earned in the course and if The University of Tulsa offers a comparable course.
- Courses taken pass/fail are not transferable unless a grade of C or better can be documented.
- Faculty policy determines which courses are applicable towards a chosen major.
- The last 45 hours of the degree program must be completed at UTulsa.
