It would seem that you would accept the credit as a completed general education course and make up total credits required for graduation. We do this for transfer courses that have the same course content but a lower credit hour requirement (or vice-versa). Sometimes student practicums have varied credit hours that would allow them to pick up additional credits, if needed for graduation requirements.
Hope this helps,

We would allow the student to transfer in the Writ 101 for our equivalent gen ed to meet that requirement, but they would only earn 2.64 semester credits for the course. the missing credits would be made up in the end for total needed graduation credits.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Question about Quarters
Greetings,
I met with officials from Chief Dull Knife a few weeks back and the question arose as to how the rest of us would manage their transfer students if they began again on the quarter-system, instead of semester-system.
They are looking at this as a way to retain students, but don't want to ultimately disadvantage a student going on to additional educational opportunities.
I provided some information from AACRAO in general on conversions, but specifically the questions seem to center around the following:
· Credit slippage in general
· Credit slippage for specific programs
I indicated I would help by polling all of you to give them a broader response than simply my own.
For example – a student takes their Writ 101 for 4 quarter credits. For an institution that requires 3 semester credits in Writing – will you consider the requirement done for a general education course; and simply make up the total in the end for graduation credits; or will you require an additional credit (or partial credit) in writing to specifically meet that content ?
Thank you for your help!
Cheri
