| + | This section covers (i) credit earned by exams (AP/IB/CLEP) and (ii) transferring courses from other institutions. | ||
| - | Students may earn credit for coursework completed in high school through AP, IB, CLEP and other exams. Please view the policies and criteria below: | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== A. Exam credit (AP / IB / CLEP) ==== | ||

| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ==== B. Transfer credit from another institution (including summer/winter elsewhere) ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Step 1 — Check if it is already pre-approved.** | ||
| + | * Use the [[https://www.binghamton.edu/admissions/undergraduate/apply/transfer/coursework.html|Pre-approved Transfer Table]] (select the institution, then the course). | ||
| + | * If your course appears there with the correct BU equivalent, you typically do not need a separate petition. | ||
| - | Students may also earn credit from courses taken in previous institutions or have the flexibility to take summer/winter courses at other institutions and then transfer credits back. | + | **Step 2 — If it is not pre-approved, request Math/Stats pre-approval before registering.** |
| + | Not all courses are transferable to Math/Stats requirements, so please have coverage reviewed in advance. | ||
| - | * The [[https://www.binghamton.edu/admissions/undergraduate/apply/transfer/coursework.html|Pre-approved Transfer Table]] helps to determine equivalent courses: first select institutions and then select courses. If the courses are already in this pre-approved table, students do not need to request the credit transfer petition. | + | * Fill out the [[https://www.binghamton.edu/harpur/advising/forms/docs/transfer-credit-petition-major-updated-1.31.23.pdf|Harpur Transfer Credit Petition form]]. |
| + | Save it as an **editable PDF** (not a photo/screenshot). | ||
| - | To transfer a math/stats course from outside Binghamton University for credit, you must receive pre-approval from the Director of Undergraduate Studies at the Department of Mathematics & Statistics. Not all courses can be transferred, hence it is important to have the course coverage reviewed before you register them. To this end, | + | * Email the completed petition to the **Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) Prof. Vladislav Kargin (vkargin@binghamton.edu)** for review and include in your email: |
| + | * the **current syllabus** (required) | ||
| + | * a link to the **course catalog/department page** | ||
| + | * **when** you plan to take the course (term + dates if known) | ||
| - | * Fill out the [[https://www.binghamton.edu/harpur/advising/forms/docs/transfer-credit-petition-major-updated-1.31.23.pdf|Harpur College Transfer Credit Petition form]]. Save the completed form as an **editable PDF file**; images/snapshots are discouraged. | + | ---- |
| - | * Send an email with the completed form to the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Prof. Vladislav Kargin, vkargin@binghamton.edu, for review and approval. Include in the email the current syllabus of the course; the website of the department/university that offers the transfer course; and Information on when you plan to take the transfer course. | ||
| - | Online courses (especially asynchronous ones) are generally **not** approved for transfer (in some cases, transfer credits may be granted after passing our final exam with a grade of C or better.) | + | ==== C. Common constraints (important) ==== |
| - | Courses from non-US institutions are typically //not// accepted, although there are exceptions for certain programs such as study abroad (excluding winter or summer sessions). More information on the rationale can be found [[ug:summer-transfer|here]]. | + | * **Online courses:** asynchronous courses are generally not approved for transfer. |
| + | * **Non-US institutions:** transfer credit is typically not approved, with exceptions for approved programs (for example, certain study-abroad arrangements). | ||
| + | See [[ug:summer-transfer|this page]] for additional rationale and guidance. | ||
