Transfer Admissions & Engagement

When reviewing transfer course(s), if it is determined a course is not equivalent to an Appalachian credit but may be applicable in the General Education, it may be petitioned directly to the General Education Office using the following process:

1. E-mail a request to General Education (gened@appstate.edu) in the General Education Office
2. Include the student’s Banner ID and course(s) to be reviewed for General Education.
3. The Assistant Director will respond to the student indicating the decision after the review.

 If it is determined a course should be reviewed by the department for equivalent credit, follow these steps:

1. The student should complete the Petition for Credit process and attach all supporting documentation as indicated on the form.
2. Submit the form directly to Transfer Admissions and Engagement for distribution to the department.
3. Transfer Admissions and Engagement will receive the petition after the review by the department.
4. Transfer Admissions and Engagement will notify the student of the decision, update the student's record, if necessary, and file the documentation in the student's record.
