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.
