UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
|
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL DEGREESThe following general requirements apply to all bachelor's degrees: 1. A minimum of 126 semester hours is required for all degrees. 2. A minimum of 42 hours of upper-division work is required. Twenty-seven (27) hours must be completed at Amberton University and applicable to the degree. 3. A minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00 is required. 4. The student must complete a minimum of 33 semester hours at Amberton University. 5. The student will be allowed to graduate by meeting the requirements for the degree in force at the time of initial enrollment, provided the student is within thirty (30) hours of graduating and completes no less than fifteen (15) hours per year.
TRANSFER OF CREDITS FROM ANOTHER INSTITUTIONBoth qualitative and quantitative considerations are involved in the transfer of credits from another institution. THERE IS NO AUTOMATIC TRANSFER OF CREDITS TOWARD A DEGREE AT AMBERTON UNIVERSITY. Work considered for transfer from other accredited schools will be carefully evaluated by University officials. Only work from official transcripts (registrar's original signature and college seal) will be considered for transfer from other accredited schools recognized by Amberton University. All official academic transcripts to be considered for transfer credit must be submitted during the first session's enrollment. Students who fail to submit official transcripts during the first session's enrollment may not be able to use transfer work as credit toward a degree.
GENERAL TRANSFER POLICIES
UNDERGRADUATE TRANSFER OF CREDITSAssuming work is allowed to transfer from an accredited institution, the following guidelines will be followed: 1. Transfer work from another regionally accredited institution will be evaluated upon admission. 2. No grade below C will be accepted as transfer work. 3. Individual courses will be accepted but no grade points. Each Amberton University transfer student will begin with a new grade point average. 4. No more than a total composite of ninety-three (93) hours will be allowed in transfer toward any Amberton University degree. 5. Students who duplicate a course accepted in transfer at Amberton University will lose the credits in transfer. Coursework completed at Amberton University will always take precedence over the transfer-equivalent credits. 6. An (X) placed by a transfer course means that the course is accepted in transfer as equivalent to the designated Amberton University course but will not satisfy upper level hour requirements. 7. The age of transfer work may affect transferability.
UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE PLANSThe student is responsible for learning about and fulfilling all general and specific regulations concerning his/her degree program. Prior to or shortly after enrolling at Amberton University, the student should have official transcripts sent directly to Amberton University from all institutions attended. Each transcript received will be evaluated for Amberton University course equivalence, and a copy of the evaluation, the "Transfer of Credit Report" (TCR), will be sent to the student. The TCR can be used by the student in preparing a degree plan. For degree advising purposes, students can have Amberton University transcripted work and all transfer work electronically evaluated against any degree in the Catalog. The Electronic Degree Plan (EDP) produces a printout of satisfied degree requirements as well as requirements which may be deficient relative to the degree selected. The EDP allows a student to compare his/her academic accomplishments against any or all degrees in the Catalog. The EDP takes approximately two minutes to analyze a student's records and provide a printed report. See a University advisor for further information on obtaining an EDP.
UNDERGRADUATE RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTSIn order to meet residency requirements for an undergraduate degree, the student must complete 33 hours in residency at Amberton University. Any successfully completed Amberton University courses will satisfy residency requirements.
REQUIREMENTS FOR A SECOND DEGREETo receive a second bachelor’s degree, a student must complete at least 30 semester hours beyond the first degree and must meet all general education and major field requirements for the second degree. No grade below a C will be accepted in transfer from a previous degree.
