Pre-matriculation Credit

  • Credit on Entrance and Exemption (Pre-matriculation credit recognized for achievement on a test that may be equivalent to a course.)
  • Pre-matriculation Transfer Credit (Transfer credit awarded from accredited four year degree-granting institutions earned prior to matriculation.)
  • Credits & Exemptions Reference Guides (for departments/programs)
  • Relinquishment of Pre-Matriculation Credit
    (approved by the Committee on Instruction April 4, 2023)
    • On occasion, students may feel that they are not prepared to take the course they placed into based on the articulation of their pre-matriculation credits and/or placement tests. In such a case, students may wish to discuss their current placement with a faculty advisor from the appropriate department. If it is determined that it is in the best interest of the student to relinquish their pre-matriculation credit the student will forward written approval from the faculty advisor or department/program administrator requesting their pre-matriculation credit be relinquished. Relinquishment of pre-matriculation credit for Math 010 Introductory Statistics (or its equivalents ECON 010, ENVS 010, GOVT 010, PSYC 010, QSS 015, and SOCY 010) may be requested by the student without prior approval from a faculty member or advisor.
    • Relinquishment of pre-matriculation credit is permanent and irrevocable.
