Resolution
of Transfer Disputes for Lower Division Courses
|
The
Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has established
procedures to be followed by Texas public colleges and
universities in resolving transfer of credit disputes
involving lower division courses. Courses covered by
this procedure are defined by the Coordinating Board’s
guide, “Transfer of Credit Policies and Curricula’’.
If a transfer course covered by the Coordinating Board
policies is not accepted, the student may initiate an
appeal. A “UH-Victoria Appeal Form” must be completed
and submitted to UH-Victoria Office of Admissions and
Records within 15 calendar days after the evaluation
of transfer work has been sent to the student. (Forms
are available in the Office of Admissions and Records
or at www.uhv.edu/oar )
The two institutions and the student shall attempt to
resolve the transfer of the course credit in accordance
with the Coordinating Board rules and/or guidelines.
If the transfer dispute is not resolved to the satisfaction
of the student or the institution at which the credit
was earned, then UH-Victoria will state its reason for
course denial to the Commissioner of Higher Education
within 45 days after the date the student received written
notice of the denial.
The commissioner or a designee will then provide a final
written decision about the transfer of course credit
to UH-Victoria, the student and the other institution.
|
Transfer
of Graduate Credits
General Regulations
The transfer student must meet the regular admission
requirements. Credit may be transferred only for graduate
credit courses completed with a grade of A or B. These
courses, completed in residence at the University of
Houston-Victoria under a graduate degree program, must
be certified as graduate level by the Office of Admissions
and Records of UH-Victoria. A maximum of 25% (normally
9 to 12 hours) of credit required for a degree program
may be transferred from other institutions. In the case
of other institutions in the University of Houston System,
the maximum is 50%.
Advanced work completed with another institution prior
to the time the institution offered graduate credit
will not apply as credit toward an advanced degree at
UH-Victoria. The student bears the final responsibility
for securing the Office of Admissions and Records’ evaluation.
Approval of transfer credit toward a degree is by the
appropriate school dean with the advice and consent
of the president or his/her designate.
|
Correspondence
Credit
Graduate credit is not granted
for correspondence courses and courses taken prior to
the student’s admission to a graduate program.

course work must be completed at UHV. These residence
hours are not to include correspondence work. The following
regulations are in effect:
Maximum correspondence credit applicable to the degree

descriptions, and other information (for example, syllabus
and book list) to his or her assigned SoBA advisor for
review as to adequacy and currency.
