Transfer Credit Policies and Grades

Transfer Credit Policies

Developmental, technical and vocational courses are non-transferable and are not calculated for admission purposes.
A minimum of 30 credit hours must be taken in residence, including 24 credit hours of advanced work, to receive a bachelor’s degree from ASU.
Credit hours taken at a junior or community college may not be transferred as upper-division work.
Credit granted for non-traditional educational experiences by community colleges or other universities will not be accepted for transfer. These include courses taken at non-degree granting institutions, life or work experience, and work completed at specialized proprietary schools.
Credit by examination will be accepted when the student provides documentation of test scores on an original score report from the national testing organization, or an official high school transcript. For more information, see our credit by examination guidelines.
Evaluation of course credit earned at other institutions does not guarantee approval of the credit for use toward ASU degree requirements. Only the academic dean of the college offering the program in which a student is enrolled has authority for determining which courses will be applied toward any specific program.
The Academic Fresh Start Program is available to Texas residents who have applied to Angelo State University with all the necessary credentials submitted to the Office of Admissions by the appropriate deadline.

A grade of D or higher is required to be used for an ASU degree. Some majors require certain courses to have grades higher than D. Check the undergraduate catalog or contact an academic advisor regarding minimum grades for courses in particular majors.
Grades from all transferable courses will be used for admission purposes, but will not be calculated into your institutional GPA at Angelo State University.
Grades of WF are averaged as F.
Grades of W and WP are not used for admission or GPA purposes.
When a course has been repeated, the last grade stands, unless the course is designated in the institution’s catalog as “may be repeated for credit.”
