TRANSFER GUIDELINES

What does “Validation” Required mean?A course taken at the lower level (100-200) at a community college or four-year educational institution is not equivalent to a TU upper-level course. In order to fulfill an upper-level major course requirement, the content of the transfer work must be validated. A transfer course requiring validation is identified with a “T” instead of the 300-number code, e.g., ACCT T01 for ACCT 301, etc.How to Validate: Complete the course specified below with a grade equivalent of 2.0 or higher at TU.

Validate the transferred course, don’t repeat it. If you enroll in a course with the same course content as the transferred course, the units earned in the transfer course will not count towards graduation because it will be treated as a repeat.

CREATING YOUR ACADEMIC PLAN TO GRADUATION

By Maryland law, once you have earned 45 credits of coursework, all students must have an academic plan that lists the courses needed to complete your degree for each semester leading to graduation. Transfer students must have a plan in the first semester at Towson. You will work with your academic advisor to create your academic plan. We have created a website with all the information needed to assist you with the creation of your academic plan at http://towson.edu/cbe/resources/advising/academicplan.html.

Students will not be permitted to enroll in ACCT 303 – Intermediate Accounting III, ACCT 421 – Advanced Accounting, or ACCT 401 –Auditing, without first being admitted to the major.

Registration Tip: Prerequisites are checked online as you register. A student who is not eligible for admission to the ACCT major and enrolls in an upper-level (ACCT, BUSX, EBUS, ECON, ENTR, FIN, LEGL, MKTG, or MNGT) course is at risk of being disenrolled from the course.
