– 2nd quarter under 2.5 – Academic Probation
– 3rd quarter under 2.5 – Academic Probation
– After 4 consecutive quarters under 2.5 GPA, students
will be reviewed for Academic Suspension (forced 1year separation from the university).
Transfer Credit
• 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.
Transfer Credit
•Once credits have been evaluated, you should be able to
run your own degree audit (DPA).
•On this audit you’ll be able to see how credits transferred.
An academic advisor can help you to interpret the results.
•Please note that this is to be used as a general guide and
should not replace regular visits with an academic or major
advisor.
•Click here to run your DPA and follow the instructions
listed.
•Official transcripts can be purchased through One-Stop.
Transfer 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 the Transfer and Lifelong Learning Center (513) 556-2247 for
questions related to credit.
• 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 requires that students take a placement exam in two
areas: Math and English
– 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 be evaluated and/or placement test
must be taken prior to registration.
