Transfer and Change of College Policy
Admission Requirement for Transfer Students
Transfer students’ admission will be determined by the higher education (HEd) grade point average. The HEd GPA is based on all letter grades attained at all institutions of higher learning and uses the point average scale of “A” equaling four points. The admission of students wishing to change from another college within The University of Toledo to the College of Business Administration to pursue a Bachelor in Business Administration must have a minimum 2.40 GPA based on their current UT cumulative GPA.
Bachelor of Business Administration
All transfer students must have a minimum GPA of 2.40 to be accepted into the College of Business Administration.
Bachelor of Science in Information Technology
All transfer students must have a minimum GPA of 2.25 to be accepted into the College of Business Administration.
Evaluation of Courses for Transfer Students
Transfer courses will be evaluated by the College of Business Administration after the student has submitted official transcripts from all colleges/universities attended and has been accepted by the college. The student must complete the evaluation process before the end of the first term of attendance at UT.
For purposes of determining the UT GPA, grades from another institution do not transfer. The GPA will be based on the course work taken while enrolled in The University of Toledo. For students transferring into the College of Business Administration from another college within The University of Toledo, all undergraduate hours attempted and earned, as well as the GPA, will transfer. Students must also have completed a minimum eight hours to transfer into the College of Business Administration. To qualify for the BBA, BSIT, or BAOT, students must fulfill all College of Business Administration course and grade requirements. No required course in the College of Business Administration may be repeated at any other institution for the purpose of transferring credit to The University of Toledo toward any business administration program or degree. For additional information on transfer policies, please see the General Section of this catalog.
Transfer students should note The University of Toledo will include all course work taken at all institutions of higher education in the calculation to determine if a student will graduate with honors. All college course work taken is computed in determining eligibility for graduation with honors, although no student will be awarded a level of honors above that indicated by The University of Toledo cumulative GPA. The University of Toledo requires a minimum of 30 semester hours of standard letter-graded courses from UT in order to qualify for graduation with honors.
The College of Business Administration Student Services Center (SSC) will complete the evaluations based on course equivalencies determined by the appropriate academic unit. In many cases, courses from other universities/colleges have been pre-approved for equivalency and will transfer with confirmation. Equivalent courses from AACSB-accredited schools automatically transfer. When automatic transfer does not exist, it is possible for a student to obtain course equivalency by petitioning to take a proficiency exam. Students should provide a course syllabus and/or any additional documentation with the petition. Students should contact the SSC for additional information.
Course Applicability System (CAS)
The Course Applicability System (CAS) is a statewide web-based transfer information system supported by the Ohio Board of Regents. CAS shows course equivalencies between public and private two-year and four-year colleges and universities, along with college degree requirements. To access transfer information, access CAS
