There are two basic steps you must take to ensure your transfer credit is utilized in your degree correctly.
1. You must submit transcripts to one of two locations based on your admissions status:
Newly admitted students must send transcripts to the Admissions Office in Old Main.
Currently enrolled students must send transcripts to the Curriculum and Registration Office (Registrar's Office), Administration Building, Room 210.
2. You must go through a School of Art Academic Advisor to see how the units are used in your degree program.
You will need to check with both offices to insure proper transfer articulation. Instate courses have already been evaluated by the University and can be checked easily in the Course Equivalency Guide online. You may also view hard copies of the guide in the Art Advising Center.
If you are a current student and planning to take courses at another institution we encourage you to check with the Registrar and your Academic Advisor to be sure the course of study you are planning fits properly into your degree program. You must receive a C or better in the courses you wish to transfer in order to receive U of A credit. GPA's from other institutions do not affect your U of A GPA.
Note: If you are filing a Senior Degree Check you must send your transcripts to the Graduation Services office, Music 111.
The following links can help you determine how transfer credit may fit into your educational plan. Always check with an academic advisor before you complete any course. If you are a new transfer student, you should contact an advisor to make a long appointment as soon as you are admitted.

If you would like to take a class at Northern Arizona University, Arizona State University, or an institution outside of Arizona, obtain a description of the course and speak with an academic advisor regarding whether or not the course may transfer. Keep a copy of the course syllabus.
If you believe an error has been made in the evaluation of your transcripts, make an appointment with an academic advisor to discuss the possibility of an evaluation appeal.
