Undergraduate Students
A degree candidate at ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ Military college who wishes to receive ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ credit for courses at another institution must complete the appropriate form located on the page.
A Transient Permission Form must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar prior to taking courses at another college. This form is only required for current students or seniors completing their final courses for graduation at another institution. ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ does not approve these forms for individuals that are not current ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ students and reserves the right to adjust course equivalencies as necessary.
To ensure that the course(s) will be accepted at ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ for transfer credit, students should review the prior to completing any outside course. Students should note that permission to take the requested course(s) is not confirmation of how/if the course(s) will fulfill degree requirements. Permission only confirms the course has been approved by ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ faculty to have a ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ equivalent.
Students should therefore pay close attention in verifying that the approved ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ equivalent is what is needed on the students degree plan. The student should also confirm the course is not a repeat of already earned credit (see ). Acceptance of credit for an approved transfer course via the Transient Permission Form will become final only when the Registrar’s office receives an official transcript of the student’s record directly from the accredited institution where the course was taken.
