Transient Credit from Other Institutions

A continuing undergraduate student at the University must apply for permission to take courses at another regionally accredited institution. Forms for this purpose can be obtained from the Registrar’s Office. To be granted credit taken on a transient basis at another institution, the following provisions must be satisfied:

1. The student must be eligible to return to the University.
2. The student may not be in the last 31 credit hours of study toward a bachelor’s degree (required residency), unless permission is granted in writing by the Academic Appeals Committee.
3. The student may not attend a junior or community college after a cumulative total of 64 credit hours are earned toward a bachelor’s degree.
4. The student must earn a grade of “C” or better in any undergraduate course.
5. The student may not earn credit on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis.

Please note that students may not take courses outside the University for writing-intensive credit. Only those courses designated as writing intensive at UT count in this program.

Approved transient credit may be earned concurrently with UT credit. No more than 4 credit hours from credit earned at another institution (non-resident credit) may be applied toward a student’s University of Tampa degree requirements in any spring or fall semester in which the student is enrolled and taking a full course load (12 credit hours or more) at the University.
