TRANSFER POLICY
Transfer Policy
Community/junior college students who plan to transfer to the College of Business Administration are advised to take the courses recommended for the freshman and sophomore years as outlined in this section. The appropriate department in COBA should be consulted to resolve questions of transferability. Upper-division 300/400-level courses taught by the COBA should not be taken at a community/junior college.
Credit for business courses taken at another college or university and transferred to Tarleton to be applied to a BBA, BS, or BAAS degree in business will be awarded on the following bases:
1. Business courses that are equivalent to a 100- or 200-level course at Tarleton will be accepted if the course content is considered by COBA to be similar.
2. Business courses that are equivalent to a 300- or 400-level course at Tarleton will be accepted for advanced credit only if they were taken for advanced credit. Some students may petition for credit in upper-level business core requirements by completing a validating examination through either the College Level Examination Program or a departmental examination; such testing requires approval of the appropriate department head and the Dean of the College of Business Administration. If permission is granted for credit by examination, such credit must be completed before taking any classes for which the course is a prerequisite. Validation must be accomplished in the first semester of enrollment at Tarleton.
3. Business courses that are upper level at Tarleton, but are transferred in as lower-level courses, will be accepted for transfer as lower-level electives with no validation exam.
4. The maximum hours that may be transferred from a community or junior college with validation and applied to a specific major in business (Accounting, Business Administration, Business Occupations, Economics, Finance, CIS, Management, Marketing, or Administrative Systems) is 9 hours.
