06.001 Evaluating, Awarding, and Accepting Credit
Revision
This policy has been revised to reflect the change regarding who the approver is for face-to-face courses that contain fewer contact hours or are delivered in shortened time periods. The approver shifted from the responsibility of the dean to the responsibility of an academic administrator with responsibility for the program in which the course is delivered. Clarification was provided to specify which institutions UNT accepts transfer credit from and the application of those courses towards baccalaureate degrees. Vocational/technical transfer credits may be applied to academic baccalaureate degrees upon evaluation by qualified faculty and confirmed through the curriculum approval process. A requirement was added to specify that prior learning experiences must be comparable in rigor, substance, and proficiency as a UNT course and include an assessment of student attainment of learning to be considered for UNT credit.
