4 REGIS UNIVERSITY Associate s to Bachelor s Programs PURPOSE The purpose of the agreement is to enable SMC students who transfer to Regis with an Associate of Arts to be recognized as having achieved junior status at Regis, and to allow them to transfer additional credits (up to a maximum of 90 semester credit hours) that they have already earned. This approach will allow many students to earn a bachelor s degree by attending the equivalent of three years 1 of instruction at SMC and completing their fourth and final year at Regis. TRANSFER ELEMENTS TREATMENT OF ASSOCIATE S DEGREES AS ADMISSION CRITERIA: Students who earn an Associate of Arts degree will be recognized as having satisfied the first two years of coursework associated with Regis baccalaureate degree programs and will be recognized as having achieved junior status. The Associate of Arts degree is an award that recognize at least two years but less than four years of full-time equivalent college-level work. The degree is general in nature and is not directed to a specific career or technical area. Students graduating from SMC and transferring to Regis as participants in the Associate s to Bachelor s Program are guaranteed the following: Admission to the Undergraduate SPS at Regis (because of program capacity and specialized entry requirements, there are no guarantees of admission to specific Regis Undergraduate degree programs or certificate programs.) Acceptance of credit earned at SMC in all programs, including credit by testing and other non traditional mechanisms such as Advanced Placement (AP), American Council on Education (ACE) credits, Dual Enrollment, Early Admissions, and International Baccalaureate. No additional General Education Core requirements, if Regis requirements have been met with SMC programs. Acceptance of all grade forgiveness policies of SMC. TREATMENT OF SMC COURSEWORK FOR STUDENTS WITHOUT AN ASSOCIATE OF ARTS SMC students transferring without an Associate of Arts degree (this would include students that have earned Certificates, and/or Diplomas), will have all SMC A.A. applicable courses with a grade of "C- or better", accepted for transfer. Twenty four semester hours of skill-based technical course work may be used to satisfy general elective requirements in the Undergraduate degree programs of the SPS. The designation (TOS) is used when recording this credit. REGIS' DEGREE PLAN The Regis degree plan outlines degree completion requirements for each student. The degree plan is a written agreement between the student and the appropriate undergraduate program. It sets forth the academic requirements for the degree. The student and a Regis Academic Advisor sign the degree plan. The degree plan specifies the amount of time during which the requirements for a particular degree must be completed. This period is seven (7) years (84 months) from the date the student is accepted into the Undergraduate Program. During that seven-year period, students may (but are not required to) revise their degree plans to reflect the Regis curricular changes. If the degree plan expires before the student has completed all degree requirements, the student must sign a new degree plan or request an extension to the current degree plan. MAXIMUM AGE OF ASSOCIATE DEGREE There is no expiration date on Associate of Arts credits earned from a regionally accredited institution of higher education. THE TRANSFER PROCESS Regis SPS will receive transfer credits for all of the course work, up to a maximum of 90 semester hours toward fulfillment of Regis SPS core requirements and toward the Regis degree requirement of 128 semester hours subject to the following provisions: All SMC transfer student applicants must meet the admissions standards as outlined in this MOU (these requirements may differ from those found in other documents and publications). Students that are transferring as part of the Regis Associate s to Bachelor s Program must have a minimum of a 2.0 grade point average as verified by an official transcript from SMC. Students transferring individual courses to Regis separate and apart from the Associate s to Bachelor s Program, must have earned a grade of "C-" or better in the specified course. All students transferring to Regis SPS must have 3 years of work experience (waivers may be requested by a designated advisor from SMC). Students who apply to Regis must satisfy or successfully complete six (6) semester credit hours (9 quarter credit hours) in Religious Studies and six (6) semester credit hours (9 quarter credit hours) of Philosophy, if these courses are not included in the SMC transferable course work to the satisfaction of Regis. SMC students may fulfill the above requirement by (i) taking the courses at SMC prior to transfer, or (ii) taking Religious Studies and Philosophy courses at Regis. A minimum of thirty (30) graded semester hours must be taken through Regis. Credits earned through Portfolio (Prior Learning Assessment) or credits by examination are not included in this 30-hour minimum. For more information: 1 Years are equivalent to approximately semester credit hours.
