Acceptance of Transfer Credit

Official transcripts should be submitted to the Office of Admissions at the time of application to SAU Tech. For a transcript to be considered official, it must be presented in one of the following ways:

  1. Mailed to SAU Tech Admissions by the institution,
  2. Sent electronically to SAU Tech Admissions by the institution via Speede or eScript, or
  3. Mailed or delivered to SAU Tech Admissions by the student in an envelope sealed by the institution.

Transcripts received via mail that have been opened prior to receipt are unofficial. Official transcripts for college-level credit from institutions recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation are evaluated by the Registrar and Academic Advisors for transfer credit.

  • Grades must be equivalent to a C (2.0) average
  • Credit must be applicable toward the requirements for a degree at SAU Tech.

Students are required to self-disclose any prior college transcripts, including SAU Tech transcripts prior to 1993, on their admission application. If students do not accurately disclose this information on the admission application and it is later discovered the student had a prior college transcript (including an SAU Tech transcript), the student may NOT be eligible for financial aid and may be required to repay aid they previously received while at SAU Tech.

The Registrar reserves the right to accept or deny transfer credits to SAU Tech based on the transfer institutions’ academic policies. Final approval of transfer credits rests with the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. Courses accepted for transfer credit will be posted to the student’s SAU Tech transcript with the transfer institution’s course identifier and title. Transfer credit is not calculated as part of the student’s SAU Tech cumulative GPA. Credits earned are only be reflected in hours earned and may be used for degree requirements.

International transcripts and academic records must be evaluated by a credentialed evaluation agency and mailed directly to the Admissions Office at SAU Tech. Specific information regarding international student requirements can be obtained at the following link- International Students.
