*TRANSFER CREDIT FOR NON-CLINICAL NURSING COURSES
​A student who has completed Anatomy and Physiology I and Anatomy and Physiology II, Nutrition, and/or Introduction to Pharmacology, from another regionally accredited post-secondary institution – one recognized by the US Department of Education - within the past two years, inclusive of Honors Anatomy and Physiology and /or Honors Nutrition completed at UCT, and has obtained a grade of "B-" (80% or greater) or better are eligible for transfer credit.  For currently matriculated transfer students, course content can be older than two years.  To obtain transfer credit the student must provide the program director with:
  1. an official transcript documenting completion of the equivalent course within the past two years with a grade of “B-” (80%) or better;
  2. a description of the course (catalog, syllabus or similar documentation) which demonstrates the course(s) for which the student is seeking transfer credit is equivalent to the course offered at UCT in content and hours;
  3. additional materials that the program director could request to facilitate the transfer of credit.
Students will be notified by the program director when transfer credit is awarded.  If the student is eligible for Title IV Financial Aid, the exemption credit could potentially affect the amount of the student's award.
