Articulation and Transfer
While most courses taken at a regionally accredited college or university are transferable, many issues impact how courses apply to a given degree program. ASU does not evaluate transfer credits in advance of an offer of admission. ASU accepts college-level (not remedial) courses in which you have earned a grade of C (4.0=A) or better from regionally accredited institutions. It is up to the college of your major to determine how transferable courses fulfill degree requirements for your ASU major. You may transfer up to 64 credits from a regionally accredited two-year college. And, while there is no limit to the number of courses that you may transfer from a regionally accredited, four-year institution, university policies determine the number and type of ASU credits you need to earn your ASU degree. Every candidate for the baccalaureate degree is required to earn a minimum of 30 semester hours in resident credit courses at the ASU campus from which the student will graduate.
Transfer Course Evaluation
If you are transferring from any in-state community college or university, the courses that are required for your Life Sciences major must be evaluated by an advisor in the School of Life Sciences. Please visit the Life Sciences Building, C-wing, Room 206 or call (480) 727-6277 to schedule an appointment.

Degree Audit Report System (DARS)
If you want to find out what requirements you have completed toward graduation, print a DARS report from My ASU: http://my.asu.edu. (Click on “Request Your Degree Audit”)
Once transfer courses are evaluated, they are properly placed in your DARS report. You can follow your progress and identify which courses you still need to complete for your curriculum.
