Evaluation
When you are admitted, you will be able to view your
Degree Evaluation on your Admissions Profile in ISIS.
The evaluation:
- Tells
you whether you have completed the necessary High
School Course Requirements.
- Specifies
which General
Education Program Requirements and which requirements for your
major you still need to fulfill.
- Indicates
which prerequisite
courses necessary for applying to the respective colleges need to
be fulfilled.
- Monitors
other degree requirements including semester hours, GPA,
residency requirement, and college-specific regulations.
Credit evaluation
The
Office of Admissions evaluates transfer courses applicable to High School
Course
Requirements and General Education Program requirements, as well as
a number of courses applicable to the requirements of your major. Your
major department makes decisions about how the rest of your transfer
courses apply toward the requirements for your major.
