To aid in this conversion, transfer students are allowed 2 semester credits of waiver. Waived credits can only be applied to general education courses. No more than 1 credit can be applied to a single General Education Requirement. Ex. can apply waiver credit to a Math requirement and a Social Science requirement, but not to two Social Science requirements. For more information, contact the Admissions Office. Waiver credit waives the requirement but does not add credit to your transcript. General Information 1.
