Can I transfer with more than 60 credits?

[ConstantlyCrying]

I will have about 73 credits at the end of this semester before I transfer, because I did not complete the prerequisites for my intended major at the beginning of my AA and I took some DE classes. Does this invalidate me from transferring in the first place? If so, how do I go about taking the prereq courses without going over 60 credits? Or am I just SOL?

In general, students can transfer 60 credit hours from community colleges as part of the hours needed for their UF degree, regardless of when these hours are earned, subject to university and college degree requirements. It is the prerogative of the student’s UF college to determine how transfer credit satisfies the specific degree’s course requirements.

Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree recipients from Florida public community colleges who continue enrollment at the school that awarded the A.A. may be granted additional transfer credit for one or more courses that satisfy their UF degree requirements.

Refer to the Office of Admissions’ transfer credit evaluation practices as well as to the university’s official transfer credit policy for complete information.

Basically the college will determine how many credits you can transfer. Having 73 credits does not impact your chances at admissions. However, UF may not “transfer” all of your extra credits (over 60). It’s up to the college to decide.
