Transfer Students

After acceptance to the University, engineering transfer students should submit a transcript to the appropriate Engineering Department to receive credit for engineering courses taken elsewhere. All engineering course work must be validated by the appropriate Engineering Department before it can be transferred. It should be noted that some engineering courses do not transfer for some of the following reasons:

• There is no equivalent course offered at the University of Denver.
• The content of the course differs significantly from the apparently equivalent course offered at the University of Denver.
• No course having a grade less than “C” can be transferred to the University of Denver. (no more than 138 quarter hours may be transferred from four-year institutions; or 90 quarter hours, from two-year institutions)
• Courses taken as part of an engineering technology program often do not transfer even if titles are similar, as the theoretical background required in technology courses is usually quite different from that required in engineering courses.

Advising of transfer students will be an effort coordinated between the student’s advisor and a faculty member in the specific area of study.

A transfer student may be asked to submit a detailed course syllabus and a copy of the text used to aid in determination of the transfer of credit for a course. If it is determined that the student has completed much of the topical material of the course, but is missing an essential component, such as a laboratory or significant project work, the student may be permitted to take only the missing component under ENGR 3991, Independent Study, and may not be required to take the entire course.
