Transfer credit for courses taken at other NSHE Institution is governed by policies established in the Board of Regents Handbook, Title 4, Chapter 14, Sections 16, 17, and 18 and Title 4, Chapter 16, Section 31. When transferring coursework from other NSHE institutions:

1. The completion of the associate of arts, associate of science, and associate of business degree at a community college automatically fulfills the lower-division general education requirements at any other NSHE institution. (Title 4, Ch. 14, Section 16.1a).
2. In addition to the NSHE Core requirements established in pursuant to Title 4, Chapter 14, each university may define additional courses for inclusion in an institutional core curriculum. The establishment of such core must be clearly defined in the course catalog. (Title 4, Ch. 16, Section 31)
3. Baccalaureate level courses included as part of the associate of arts, associate of science, or associate of business degree will transfer to any other NSHE institution at a minimum as general elective credit. (Title 4, Ch. 14, Section 16.1d)
4. All baccalaureate academic majors at a university or college must have current transfer agreements with NSHE community colleges. Transfer agreements shall be developed collaboratively by both the baccalaureate degree-granting institution and the associate degree-granting institution for each baccalaureate program where a corresponding associate program exists. Absent a corresponding associate program, the transfer agreement shall be based on the general transfer degree (AA, AS, or AB with no emphasis or major). (Title 4, Ch. 14, Section 16.1e and 16.1f)
5. All undergraduate courses in the NSHE must be common-course numbered with equivalent courses offered throughout the System. An NSHE common course numbering master file shall be maintained by the Office of the Chancellor and published on the Web. (Title 4, Chapter 14, Section 17.1 and 17.3)
6. Each institution shall determine the acceptability of general elective transfer courses, and departmental, college, or other requirements or equivalents shall be forwarded to the appropriate department or college for course evaluation. If general elective credit from a non-NSHE institution is granted by one NSHE institution, then all NSHE institutions shall accept the credit unless the facts on which the original decision was based have changed. Appropriate consultation with the faculty is required throughout the evaluation process. (Title 4, Ch. 14, Section 18.3)
