Transfer of Credit for General Education
Requirements:
The general education requirements for baccalaureate degrees
from the University of Alaska system are required by university
regulation to have a common core of coursework totaling
a minimum of 34 credits. These include:
Category Credit Hours
| Written Communication

6 |
| Oral Communication

Credit for coursework successfully completed
at one University of Alaska institution toward fulfillment
of the general education requirements at that institution
shall transfer towards fulfillment of the same categories
at all other University of Alaska institutions. This applies
even if there is no directly matching coursework at the
institution to which the student transfers.
It should be noted that the 34 credit common
core is a minimum requirement for general education. An
institution may require more than 34 general education credits
for its baccalaureate degrees, and transfer students must
meet the total requirement at the receiving institution.
Transfer of general education credits beyond the 34 credits
described above will be determined on the basis of individual
requirements specified by university catalogs.
In it's catalog, each University of Alaska
institution specifies the courses which meet the general
education categories at that institution and which can thus
be guaranteed to transfer as described above.
