31-Hour Residence Requirement

Nonresidence credit (including but not limited to credit taken at another institution or earned through CLEP examination) may not be granted to fulfill the last 31 credit hours earned toward a University of Tampa degree. The last 31 credit hours must be earned in residence at UT. For the Associate of Arts degree, 16 hours in residence are required.

Under special circumstances, a student may be granted permission through the academic appeals process to take a course at another university during the last 31 hours of coursework. Information regarding the process may be obtained in the Academic Advising Office.

Up to 9 credit hours of transfer credit may apply toward a master’s degree with the approval of the director of graduate studies.

See the Office of Graduate and Continuing Studies chapter for residence requirements applicable to graduate students.
