Transfer Students

Many of our graduates transfer courses from another institution. It is critical that you consult with an undergraduate advisor early in the semester before you attend the University of Utah to determine where you stand in your program of study.

Acceptance of Transfer Classes

When the University of Utah Admissions Office accepted you for admission, they sent you a list titled "Summary of Transfer/Special Credit." Those classes have been accepted by the University, but may or may not fill requirements for the EE degree. Technical transfer classes with grades below C- and technology classes are not accepted in the Electrical Engineering program. If an accepted transfer class has fewer hours than the comparable class at the University of Utah, you must make up the missing hours with extra technical elective hours. Submit a petition for the technical classes that you want us to transfer, using a petition form available on the web or in the ECE office. 

Your petition is not an application for major admission. When you are eligible, complete the “Application for Major Status.” Hard copies of the application are available in the ECE office. 

Articulated Transfer Classes

If your classes are from another Utah school or from BYU-Idaho, they may be on the articulated list. If so, list them on a petition form, attach a copy of your "Summary of Transfer/Special Credit," and submit it to the ECE office to have those classes count toward major admission and graduation requirements.

Classes Not Articulated

For classes not on the articulated list, fill out a petition form and attach a copy of your "Summary of Transfer/Special Credit" and copies of official course descriptions. Typically, this is the online course description from the school where you took the course. Submit this material to the ECE office. You will be notified as to whether your classes are accepted toward your BSEE degree at the University of Utah.
