Transfer credit policy

How Transfer Credits Work at University of Mary Hardin-Baylor

For transfer and credit-by-exam purposes, UMHB is the kind of institution that typically evaluates prior college coursework and standardized exam credit through its admissions and registrar processes. Students considering CLEP or other exam credit should expect that applicability depends on the specific exam, score, and degree program requirements. Because policies can change and may vary by department, students should confirm current transfer-credit rules directly with the university.

Students may also have options involving CLEP®, DSST, AP, ACE, or NCCRS credits, depending on UMHB's current policies. Not every alternative credit source is automatically accepted, so verify eligibility before completing a course or exam.

Approved credits may count toward general education, major requirements, electives, or other degree requirements depending on the evaluation. University of Mary Hardin-Baylor transfer credits should therefore be reviewed against the specific degree program.

Transfer tip: Check your transfer credit evaluation and compare accepted credits with your University of Mary Hardin-Baylor degree requirements before planning additional coursework.

NCCRS member institution.
