Transferring Credits from Other Institutions to mini传媒

San Jos茅 State University maintains transfer course agreements with more than 130 California public colleges and universities. Because not all courses transfer or fulfill the same requirements, please refer to the Articulation page for the most current course equivalencies and transfer information.

Transfer Credit & Credit for Prior Learning (CPL)

mini传媒 evaluates transfer and prior learning credit with care to protect academic integrity and student progress. Please note:

  • Credits from non-regionally accredited institutions are evaluated for university elective credit only.
      • To use such coursework toward major or minor requirements, students must obtain departmental review and approval through the Articulation Office.
  • Credit for Prior Learning (CPL): In accordance with University Policy S24-1 [pdf], Section 5, mini传媒 may award course credit for college-level learning acquired outside of traditional higher education when it is appropriate to a student鈥檚 academic objectives.
      • CPL determinations are made by the department chair or program director-appointed subject matter expert(s) and are based on whether the learning meets the corresponding mini传媒 course鈥檚 learning outcomes.
  • NCCRS/ACE recommendations are advisory, not guarantees. While mini传媒 considers National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS) and American Council on Education (ACE) credit recommendations, these do not, by themselves, confer credit or ensure applicability to degree requirements. The relevant academic department has final authority on all credit awards and how (or whether) they apply to a student鈥檚 program.
  • No promise of credit: Publication of this information does not constitute a promise or guarantee of credit. Final credit awards and applicability are determined after individual review.

Policies and procedures may change. Students are responsible for consulting their advisor, the Articulation Office, and the appropriate academic department for the most current guidance.
