Effective Spring 2019
The University of Arizona will review course work from non-regionally accredited institutions if the institution is Nationally Accredited as recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). Non-regionally accredited course work will be reviewed for transfer credit based on an official transcript from the offering institution, as well as submission of a syllabus for each individual course for department or college evaluation.
Transferability of course work will be determined by the appropriate department or college and final credit awarded may be restricted both in number of units and in degree applicability.
