CyberTex will count transfer hours that apply toward the student’s current program in determining SAP transfer hours and will be counted as both hours attempted and hours completed.
Transfer of Credits from other schools—Any student enrolling for the first time is eligible to receive credit for previous course work if it is determined that the subject matter of the credit meets all areas of the subject the student is requesting credit for. A transcript must be provided when credit is to be allowed for prior education and/or training.
