I am a transfer student; do I have to take FYS?

As a transfer student, you will take an additional three-credit course from the Navigating Differences sphere instead of the traditional FYS. If you have earned an associate’s degree (not Associate of Applied Sciences) prior to transferring, your general education requirements are waived and you won’t have to take this either!

What’s the difference between withdrawing and dropping a course?

Dropping a course does not count as an attempt on your academic record, where a withdrawal shows up on your transcript as an attempt, with a grade as a “W.”

How does grade replacement work?

A student can retake a course a maximum of two times for the possibility of earning a higher grade. However, each program and course has different policies and procedures on how retaking courses can work, so it’s important to discuss with your advisor the benefits of retaking a course. Please refer to the for more detailed information.
