The St. Thomas faculty evaluates courses taken at other accredited colleges and universities to determine whether they can be used to meet UST graduation requirements. Here is the procedure for making those determinations:
Credit which does not meet specific core or major/minor curriculum requirements may, in some cases, be used to meet elective requirements.
Major/Minor Field:
Students who believe a transfer course should count toward major or minor field requirements should consult with the chair/director of the major or minor field.
Core Requirement:
Students who believe a transfer course should fulfill a core requirement should begin the appeal process by visiting Academic Counseling in OEC 119. An academic counselor will review the situation and if it looks like there is a sufficient basis to submit an appeal, the student will be given a petition form to be submitted to the director of undergraduate academic affairs in AQU 110. The counselor will discuss the kind of information (course description, syllabi, text etc.) that should be provided about the course with the petition.
Students who want pre-approval for future courses to be taken at Minnesota institutions should consult Michael Glirbas at the University of St. Thomas (Email: mjglirbas@stthomas.edu).
Policies and procedures for obtaining pre-approval for courses to be taken outside the United States are available from the study abroad office.
