Transferability of Credits

 

  1. The University of Missouri system has issued a policy statement on the Transferability of Dual Credit Courses.  The Kansas City campus of the University of Missouri system is in full compliance with this policy statement:

UM Policy Concerning the Transferability of Dual Credit Courses

"The University of Missouri assures the transfer of five courses taken as dual credit in high school delivered by institutions that are listed by the Coordinating Board for Higher Education (CBHE) as being in compliance with the dual credit policy.  Dual credit courses are defined as courses taken for both college and high school credit that were delivered in a high school by a high school teacher.  The transferability of dual credit courses greater than five will be evaluated on a course-by-course basis.  There will be no limit on the number of courses that are accepted in transfer.  This is consistent with the policy of the CBHE, stated in the Credit Transfer Guidelines for Student Transfer and Articulation Among Missouri Colleges and Universities, for students who request to transfer credit without completing a two-year degree or being certified as completing a general education curriculum".

  1. The following comments describe the process by which the UM system policy is implemented on the Kansas City campus, but does not constitute a separate policy:

Dual credit courses are evaluated on the same basis as on-campus courses for the purposes of transfer.  Standards of evaluation are uniform among all institutions from which dual-credit work is transferred, including those from UMKC.

Dual credit courses earned by students with AA degrees do not obviate divergence from accepted articulation agreements already in place with community colleges.

UMKC does not impose automatic limitations on other kinds of dual credit experience, including credit being considered for transfer earned from advanced placement exams.

Once accepted, transfer credit for dual enrollment classes appears on official UMKC transcripts and becomes part of each student's record.
