Transfer Credit Policy

  • UAS will perform an official evaluation of transfer credit after a student has been admitted to an undergraduate degree or certificate program. Graduate transfer credit will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
  • UAS reserves the right to reject work of doubtful quality, to require an examination before credit is allowed, or to determine applicability to General Education Requirements (GER) and program requirements.
  • College level (100 or above) credits earned with grades of 1.70 (C-) or higher at other regionally accredited institutions normally will be accepted for transfer. Grades of 0.70 (D-) or higher will be transferred from other University of Alaska campuses.
  • Transfer students from regionally accredited institutions who have earned a Bachelor’s, AA, or AS will be considered to have met the GER requirements at UAS. However, some bachelor's degrees require additional specific GER courses that cannot be waived.
  • A minimum of 34 semester credit hours are required for the GERs in both the AA and Bachelor's degrees. Students transferring degree programs from UAA or UAF should consult the UA General Education Transfer Guide for comparison of courses that will fulfill the GER at UAS.
  • Transfer courses retain the course level of upper or lower division credit established at the original college. 
  • Acceptance of transfer credit toward program major requirements is based upon department approval.
  • Credits may be awarded for Military Experience (MOS) according to the American Council on Education (ACE) recommendations.
  • Students who have attended international institutions and plan to transfer these credits to UAS must provide an official statement of educational equivalency from ECE or WES.
