Major to Career?

Transfer Credit Issues• Coming from Engineering

- Students will lose any language credits based on placement exam- ENGR 100 does not satisfy FYWR- LSA grants credit for MATH 105 and SWC 100- AP credit policies may differ

• Coming from Kinesiology- Many courses post as “Not for Credit” in LSA

• Coming from Music, Theatre, and Dance- Ensemble courses typically yield non-LSA credit, but no honor points.
