credits, the University will accept only the transfer of course content (and the credit will not be added to your SU total). If you have between 90-135 credits, the
University will accept transfer of both course content and credit from a four-year
institution. In all cases, turn in a Transfer Verification Request form to the Registrar before taking your course.
