Factors that can influence credit transfer decisions include the following:
1. Accreditations: The University of Houston evaluates whether an institution has regional accreditation comparable to its Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) accreditation.
2. Curriculum Relevance: The University of Houston considers the relevance and comparability of the coursework completed at the University of Phoenix to its degree programs and courses. This includes course content, rigor, and learning objectives.
3. Grade Requirements: The University of Houston may establish minimum grade requirements (usually a C or higher) for transferred courses to be accepted.
4. Limits on Transferable Credits: Some universities may have limits on the number of transfer credits that can be applied towards a degree program, so not all credits from the University of Phoenix may transfer.
5. Course Evaluation: The University of Houston conducts individual evaluations of transcripts to determine which courses are transferable and equivalent.
6. Lower-Level Course Waivers: Certain lower-level or general education credits might be transferable.
7. Upper-Level Course Reviews: Upper-level (major-specific) courses are closely scrutinized to ensure they meet academic standards and requirements.
8. Communication: It is crucial to communicate with the University of Houston admissions office throughout the process. They can provide personalized guidance and help you with any specific inquiries or challenges you may encounter.
Keep in mind that transfer policies and requirements can change, so it is always a good idea to stay updated with the latest information provided by the University of Houston.
