Institutional Transfer Articulation Agreements


Students who transfer to Utah State University from one of the institutions listed below will have their coursework evaluated as follows:

1. Students who transfer to USU and have an Associate of Arts or an Associate of Science degree (or have completed the General Education requirements of one of the institutions listed below), will be deemed as having satisfied certain requirements, depending on their initial enrollment date at USU. Those who began attending USU prior to Fall 2000 are deemed as having satisfied all University Studies requirements. Those who began attending USU Fall 2000 and later will be deemed as having satisfied the General Education portion of the University Studies requirements, and will be required to complete the Depth Education requirements at USU.

A student who transfers without an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree will need a registrar's certification stating that he or she has completed the General Education requirements at the sending institution.

2. Students who transfer to Utah State University with less than an Associate degree (and have not completed the General Education requirements) or with an Associate of Applied Science degree will have their General Education courses evaluated on a course-by-course basis and may be required to take any additional courses necessary to satisfy the General Education requirements at Utah State University. However, if these students have taken equivalent General Education courses at the sending institution, these courses will be accepted toward satisfying General Education requirements at Utah State University.

Courses approved as fulfilling General Education requirements at a Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) institution will be acceptable to Utah State University as satisfying comparable General Education requirements. Coursework acceptability at other institutions will be determined by the student's major department at Utah State University.

3. Coursework taken to fulfill requirements other than General Education will be reviewed by the appropriate department within Utah State University. Coursework acceptability will be determined by the student's major department at Utah State University.

4. Utah State University will require students to satisfy the Breadth American Institutions requirement if an equivalent course has not been completed. While the University generally accepts completed associate degrees as completion of the General Education portion of University Studies Requirements at Utah State University, advisors are required to review the associate degree for certain general education categories, such as life science, physical science, etc. If the transcript from the transfer school does not have the required areas covered to meet USU standards, students will be asked to take a class at USU to complete these areas.
