Transfer Students
Students may transfer in up to 90 credits. Graduation requirement is 120 credits. Students may be over the "120" credit if they transfer in the complete allowance of 90 credits.
If the student has earned an A.A.S degree from an institution that has an articulation agreement with SEU, they will generally be required to take SEU200 and Element III for their general education requirements. All transfer students will be assessed individually by the Admissions Office for correct placement in General Education Requirements.
Students transferring from a school without a current SEU Articulation Agreement will be evaluated on an individual basis for transfer credit acceptance.
Students transferring into SEU with an Associate's Degree (A.S.) will be required to take Element III of the University's General Education program.
