Evaluation
• You will receive a transfer credit
evaluation report from the UC Transfer
Credit Evaluation Center.
• This lists all of your credit transferring
from your home institution and how they
transfer to UC.
• Courses listed as ‘Under Review’ are
being reviewed for equivalency. You will
receive an updated report when the
course is evaluated.
• Courses listed as “**” means that credit
was applied, but there is no direct
equivalent at UC.
• Courses not appearing on this report
have not yet been received. Be sure that
all transcripts from all previously
attended institutions were sent to UC.
Degree Audit FAQs
• What should I do if I have credit that doesn’t appear on the degree audit?
– It is possible that UC has not received your final transcript yet, or that it has been
received but not yet been evaluated.
– Transcript evaluation can take some time.
– Contact Jamie Adkins at (513) 732-5294 if you have not yet received your transfer
credit evaluation.
• What does a grade of ‘PC’ mean?
– This stands for “pending credit” and means that you will receive transfer credit for
the course number assigned.
– Transfer credit will count as earned hours but will not affect your GPA at UC.
• Students may appeal decisions regarding course evaluation and applicability – please
ask your advisor for clarification.
Placement Testing
• UC Clermont requires that students take a placement exam in three areas: Math, English
and Reading:
– Students who have specified ACT or SAT scores may not need to take the English
test.
– Students who have credit from a regionally accredited institution in one or more of
these subject areas may be exempt from taking the related exams. Coursework
must transfer in as college-level in order to be exempt from the related exam.
• Coursework must be evaluated and/or placement test must be taken prior to registration.
• If your placement test requirement is in question, see an academic advisor as soon as
possible to avoid delay in registration.
Placement Testing (con’t)
Math Placement Testing
Required for students who have not taken or transferred in a college level mathematics
course.
English Placement Testing

placement test in order to begin the English sequence at UC Clermont.

test
