| The University of Miami suggests that students follow a general liberal arts curriculum. Students at two-year colleges are encouraged to follow the Associate of Arts path. | ||||
| Transfer credit evaluations are only conducted after the student has completed an application and been accepted. Only credits from a regionally accredited institution are transferable to the University of Miami. At UM, the transfer of credits is a two-part process: | ||||
| After the student has been accepted: | ||||
| Transcripts are reviewed on a course-by-course basis. | ||||
| The student will receive a detailed transfer credit evaluation with any possible UM course equivalencies. | ||||
| After arriving on campus: | ||||
| Students will meet with their academic advisors or departmental deans. | ||||
| Advisors will determine how the transferable credits satisfy degree requirements and approve the course equivalencies. | ||||
| Credits That Will Not Be Accepted: | ||||
| Credits taken at an institution that is not regionally accredited*. | ||||
| Courses with a Grade Lower than C | ||||
| Physical Education, Professional, or Technical Courses | ||||
| The following credits completed through a Two-Year College: Study Abroad, Independent Study or Internships | ||||
| Life Experience | ||||
| Credits earned through online coursework must have a grade of C or better and be taken through a regionally accredited institution. Courses that have grades of C- or lower will not transfer; however, these grades will still be used to compute an admission grade point average. | ||||
