A. Students transferring a total of 27 or fewer credits from other institutions must meet all requirements by transfer, by examination, or by completing courses at The University of Montana-Missoula.
B. Students transferring a total of 27.1-60 credits from other institutions must meet all competency requirements in Mathematics and in Foreign Language/Symbolic Systems (by acceptable transfer credits, by examination, or by taking courses at The University of Montana-Missoula); must complete successfully one upper-division level course from the approved list of University of Montana-Missoula writing courses; and must complete successfully a total of 24 credits in the perspectives with at least two credits in each of two perspectives and at least four in each of the remaining four perspectives to include at least one non-western course (by transfer or by completing courses at The University of Montana-Missoula).
C. Students transferring a total of over 60 credits from other institutions must meet all competency requirements in Mathematics and in Foreign Language/Symbolic Systems (by acceptable transfer credits, by examination, or by taking courses at The University of Montana-Missoula); must complete successfully one upper-division level course from the approved list of University of Montana-Missoula writing courses; and must complete successfully at least 16 credits in the perspectives to include at least one credit in Perspective 1, Expresive Arts, and at least two credits in the other five perspectives (by transfer credits or by taking courses at The University of Montana-Missoula).
D. Second Degrees: students who have completed a bachelor degree at the University or elsewhere will be presumed to have completed the General Education Requirement. In relation to the general education requirement a transfer student is an undergraduate degree student whose admission or readmission to the undergraduate degree status includes an Admissions & New Student Services evaluation of required and/or optional credentials. Students submitting only optional credentials for evaluation and receiving no transfer credit are not included in this definition.
Initial enrollment is a student's first recorded enrollment at The University of Montana-Missoula, either through regular registration or through Continuing Education. The preceding general education requirement categories of A, B, C are based upon the number of transfer credits completed prior to the date of initial enrollment at UM. To apply toward these categories, credits must be listed on an evaluation of transfer records issued by Admissions & New Student Services.
Admissions & New Student Services will evaluate all transfer credits for General Education credit. Students who wish to appeal that evaluation may petition the Academic Appeals Subcommittee of the Academic Standards and Curriculum Review Committee, but such petitions must be initiated during the first semester of the student's attendance following that evaluation.
Accommodations for taking the examinations can be arranged for students with disabilities.
The examination will be administered each term. Students who fail the University Writing Examination may appeal to the Director of the Writing Laboratory for review of the examination. Implementation of this requirement awaits funding. If the writing examination is funded before the student earns 64 credits, successful passage of the examination will be required for his or her graduation.
