Evaluation of Transfer Credit. An evaluation of accepted transferable credits is made by the Office of the Registrar. A complete transfer evaluation report will be mailed to the student once he or she is accepted by the university and all official transcripts have been received from each college previously attended. The basic policy regarding the acceptance of courses by transfer is to allow credit for courses completed with satisfactory grades in other accredited colleges, provided the courses correspond in content to courses offered at Augusta State University. Additional validation will be required for courses taken at another institution that were previously completed with a penalty grade at Augusta State University. In addition, credit earned at accredited technical colleges may not transfer unless the credit was earned in a designated college transfer program.
