When a course previously transferred to MSUM is repeated at MSUM, the transferred course is considered duplication and removed from GPA and credit totals. Other Types of Credit Courses transferred to MSUM which are evaluated as developmental in nature will not be granted college level transfer credit, even if the sending institution has awarded credit. Credit awarded for departmental examinations, waivers of credit, etc. may be eligible for credit based on MSUM Credit for Prior Learning Policy. Credit for Prior Learning Credit for prior learning is undergraduate or graduate level academic credit awarded for demonstrated university-level learning gained through learning experiences outside Minnesota State University Moorhead credit-bearing courses. External credit is assessed through outside entities. MSUM shall provide current, comprehensive, and accessible information on opportunities to obtain credit for prior learning to prospective and admitted students as part of degree planning and advising. MSUM shall provide opportunities for enrolled students to demonstrate university-level learning achieved through prior learning experiences outside of the MSUM credit-bearing course. MSUM shall determine the credit award for students who demonstrate prior learning consistent with system procedures. Credit awarded for prior learning may fulfill LASC, program/major/minor, and/or elective courses. Credit awarded for prior learning by a college or university must be accepted in transfer by MSUM in accordance with System Procedure 3.21.1 Undergraduate Course Credit Transfer. There is no limit to the amount of credit that may be awarded for prior learning assessments. An academic appeal may be used by students who are denied credit requested for prior learning. External Assessments External assessments include methods and processes that could result in credit for prior learning achieved and assessed through a nationally recognized third-party assessment agency or organization, regionally or nationally accredited postsecondary institution, or noncredit instruction. CPL internal assessment types may include, but are not limited to, credit by exam, prior learning portfolio assessment, individualized subject-area assessment, group or seminar assessment, and competency-based assessment. MSUM may assess prior learning in a single-subject process, or a process that reviews multiple subjects in one documentation and assessment process. Credit awarded for internal prior learning will count toward MSUM residency requirements. MSUM will designate the credit awarded on the official transcript as a credit-bearing courses with no reference to credit for prior learning. MSUM will clearly publish all tuition and fees associated with awarding credit for internal prior learning. College Level Examination Program (CLEP) CLEP (College Level Examination Program) is a testing program of The College Board designed to measure prior learning.	0028	navigator.mnstate.edu

New students who have completed 24 or more transferable credits will be exempt from this requirement.	0030	navigator.mnstate.edu
transfer_credit	Accepted transfer credits count toward the total number of attempted credits, but transfer grades do not count in the student's MSUM GPA. (A GPA calculator is available on the Academic Success Center website) Percent Completion All students must complete 66.667% of the sum of all MSUM credits attempted plus all transfer credits accepted. Transfer credits accepted and earned credits listed on the MSUM transcript are included in the percent completion calculation as attempted credits. Percent completion is calculated by dividing the number of earned credits by the sum of MSUM attempted credits plus transfer credits accepted.	0031	navigator.mnstate.edu
transfer_credit	A minimum of a 2.0 GPA is required in all courses used to fulfill LASC requirements, including transfer courses. Students entering with 32 or more transferable credits must complete two writing intensive courses at MSUM: One 300- or 400-level writing intensive course designated by the student’s major One writing intensive course at the 200-level or higher If a student has multiple majors, the student must fulfill the university writing intensive course requirements as well as the upper-level writing requirement of each major. Students who transfer to MSUM with a partially completed MnTC are not required to repeat any goal areas they have already fulfilled, but must complete the remaining requirements of MSUM’s Liberal Arts and Sciences Curriculum. In order to complete the MnTC at MSUM a student must complete the following requirements: A 2.0 MnTC GPA is required for recognition of a student's completion of the entire Minnesota Transfer Curriculum. Transfer credits may not be applied to meet an area requirement (LASC, major, or minor) unless they also meet the corresponding GPA requirement for the academic area. MSUM will accept for transfer, as lower-division electives, a maximum of 16 semester credits of vocational or technical courses offered by technical colleges.	0033	navigator.mnstate.edu
transfer_credit	Transfer Credit Policy A student’s assigned advisor or the chair can approve acceptance of transfer credits for art courses for the department’s foundations program.

transfer_credit	Credit for Non-Academic Experience The purpose of this policy is to provide students with opportunities to demonstrate competence at the college and university level from learning gained through learning experiences outside of a college or university credit-bearing course and to establish consistent practices among colleges and universities for evaluating and awarding undergraduate or graduate credit for prior learning. Any duplication coursework must follow current Transfer of Credit policy.	0133	navigator.mnstate.edu
