Transfer Credit for Non-MU Courses
The Office of Undergraduate Admissions, 230 Jesse Hall, determines transfer equivalencies for the University, including the Missouri School of Journalism. Approval for Transfer CreditIf you wish to take courses at another school, you should get approval in advance to ensure that the credit will transfer and will apply to your degree requirements. You should get approval from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions before you visit with your academic adviser. Acknowledgement of Transfer CreditThe Office of Undergraduate Admissions mails equivalency reports to students. The report indicates 1000-level courses with a "W", 2000-level courses with an "X", 3000-level courses with a "Y" and 4000-level courses with a "Z". The School of Journalism accepts transfer credit according to the transfer credit equivalency report. How Transfer Credits CountAll courses, regardless of number, taken at junior colleges, transfer as lower-division credit. In general, the J-School cannot accept courses that are considered "professional skills" courses. This includes courses such as engineering, agriculture, social work or education. The School also cannot accept the following:
Number of Credits that Can TransferUnless otherwise specified by a formal articulation agreement, which allows additional hours, up to 64 credits may be transferred from two-year colleges at any time before graduation. Residency Restrictions on Transfer CreditStudents must complete 30 of their last 36 hours in MU coursework. Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory Grading SystemNo required course or courses in a required area may be taken on a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory basis either before or after admission to the School of Journalism. Only elective, non-journalism courses may be taken S/U and only one per semester. Transfer Credit from Other Missouri SchoolsTransfer students from other accredited schools and colleges in Missouri should check the Web site of the Office of Undergraduate Admissions to see how coursework will transfer to MU.
