Post or Remove Transfer Credit

About Transfer Credit

Campus Café supports posting courses to a student transcript that the student earned elsewhere or the internal transferring of credit from one academic career (degree level) to another. The credit should be posted to the transfer semester. You may create additional semesters to hold transfer or test credit if needed.  There is a maximum of 26 transfer courses per transfer term.

    11. Click Save

The selected school will persist on subsequent transfer credit postings, unless changed.

In the future, if an institution and original course code is entered, the original course title and credits will appear on the enrollment detail screen based on the most recent original course code and institution combination.

Post Internal Courses

An institution may utilize degree levels on student enrollments taken at the institution. The transcript can be configured to separate courses and reset the credit and GPA totals based on degree levels. To have a course appear on both levels, the transfer function can be used.

Follow the same procedure as posting an external course expect use your institution as the Transfer School. Whether you accept the original grade or use a special grade depends on your institution’s business process. If you accept the original grade, ensure that those grades are selected as “Transfer” grades on the Quality Points Maintenance table.
