Transfer Credit
Transfer credit is defined as out-of-residence. LSA students are required to complete 60 credits in residence (on the Ann Arbor campus or through UM-Ann Arbor sponsored study abroad). At least 30 of a student’s final 60 credits towards graduation must be completed in residence. The criterion for establishing which courses are transferable is that course content is basically parallel to a UM class and is completed with a "C" or better. Your past school's transcript is evaluated by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and is reflected on the Academic Report.
Advanced Placement (AP) credit
Students may receive credit for Advanced Placement exams they complete in High School. Policies governing AP credits vary from department to department. Your AP credit cannot count toward any LSA requirement other than the language requirement. If at the time you took an AP exam, you did not specify the University of Michigan as the recepient of your score, please refer to the College Board web site for information regarding additional score reports.
Credit By Exam
Recognizing that students may have background in particular academic areas, the faculty has left it to each department to decide if it is possible for students to earn credit by examination. While the opportunities are quite limited, the amount and type of credit in any area is determined by the academic department(s) in which a student feels qualified to seek credit by examination. Credit earned by examination is out-of-residence credit.
