If the course material covered is not the same, transfer credits may not be accepted as engineering courses even if the number of credits for courses are the same. In the event no articulation agreement is in place, the USU department responsible for the course evaluates and assigns the transfer credits. Courses taken on the quarter system are evaluated according to the university policy for quarter credit conversion; credits transferred from a quarter calendar system will receive 0.667 semester credits for every quarter credit earned. Coursework (including transfer credit) that is more than 10 years old and is required by the major may be disallowed by the student’s department.

The final decision on accepting credits for a degree resides with the academic department that awards the degree. Transfer students coming to USU with an Associate of Science degree from a regionally accredited institution may be deemed as having satisfied the General Education portion of USU’s University Studies Requirements. In general, transfer students will still need to satisfy the Depth Education portion of University Studies. In addition, since not all Associate of Science degrees granted by institutions outside of Utah include an American Institutions course (a State of Utah requirement), students may need to complete a Breadth American Institutions (BAI) course while at USU. 2.2.2 Acceptance into the Professional Program for Transfer Students The Professional Engineering Program refers to the major-specific courses in the junior and senior years of each degree program. Transfer students must apply to the Professional Engineering Program using the Admission/Permission Application for the Professional Program. A final decision on admission into the Professional Engineering Program will not be made until after the applicant has completed at least 15 semester credits of acceptable engineering, math, and science coursework at USU with the required GPA. Some of this coursework may include upper-division classes taken by permission. Transfer students who have completed the Pre-Professional Engineering Program courses at another institution may apply to the Professional Engineering Program after they have been accepted into the Pre-Professional Engineering Program.
