<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I have a quick question. On the transfer application it says all students are required to submit catalog pages describing course work and academic regulations. What does that mean?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>You’ll need the school’s course catalog that you are transferring from, along with the desciption of the university’s grading system that is usually in either the course catalog or the student catalog. What I would do is cut them out and tape them to a blank page and copy at Kinkos (especially if it’s from a really large university). </p>
<p>They want to know this information for transfer of credit. Is class A comparable to their class A – ext. Knowing how one institution breaks down grades gives them a better idea of how well you did. Unlike when you apply from a high school, you don’t typically have a GC helping you out in a transfer situation.</p>
<p>The way I did this is downloaded my college’s catalog from the website in .pdf format. I then used a pdf editing program like foxit or adobe to clip out the pages with my completed course information on it. I then also cut out the academic policies and procedures section of the catalog. I saved these two groups of pages into two different pdf files and emailed it into the admissions people which they stated as being an acceptable submission format.</p>
<p>You could do the same thing by using a scanner on a paper copy of the catalogue.</p>
<p>I emailed the admissions office directly and they said that, unless otherwise notified, it is unnecessary to send them your college’s academic regulations/course catalog. Has anyone else heard differently or is this an isolated phenomenon?</p>
<p>The entire catalog/regulations is unnecessary. Course descriptions of all the classes you have taken/are taking are sufficient for the course catalog part. The regulations part primarily refers to credit policies, like what is the credit requirement to graduate, how the school calculates credits and GPA, how many credits classes are usually worth, etc.</p>
