UNDERSTANDING YOUR TRANSFER CREDIT EVALUATION<\/strong><\/p>\n Taking time to read and understand your transfer credit evaluation will assist you when you are preparing to meet with your academic advisor. We recommend that you take your evaluation to your advisor meeting.<\/p>\n A few things to know about your evaluation:<\/p>\n \u00a0REVIEWING YOUR UNOFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT<\/strong><\/p>\n Your unofficial transcript will show your course equivalencies, along with the following information that is important for you to know:<\/p>\n After receiving notification of admission to the University,\u00a0activate your Goldlink<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>account. After logging into your\u00a0Goldlink<\/a><\/strong>, go to the Student Academics tab and look for the View Unofficial Transcript link in the Student Records box.<\/p>\n VIEW YOUR ACADEMIC STANDING & RESTRICTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n You can view your academic standing (good standing, probation, etc.) as well as any holds or other restrictions that will prevent you from registering through your\u00a0Goldlink<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0account. Go to the Student Academics Tab and click on General Student Information in the Student Records box.<\/p>\n DO COURSES FIT INTO OUR GENERAL STUDIES PROGRAM<\/strong><\/p>\n You can review how your courses have transferred and apply towards\u00a0大象传媒 Western\u2019s general education requirements\u00a0using our Griffon GPS degree audit system. \u00a0You can see how your upper-level and major-specific courses apply to your degree program, please use the \u201cWhat If\u201d link on the left-hand toolbar in Griffon GPS.<\/p>\n Any student who has completed an Associate of Arts (AA), a bachelor’s degree, or the 大象传媒 42-hour general education block (must be noted on the transcript or other official document) from a regionally-accredited institution, is considered to have satisfactorily completed 大象传媒 Western\u2019s general studies requirements (some exceptions apply which will be evaluated on a course-by-course basis).<\/p>\n To use Griffon GPS, log into your Goldlink account, go to the Student Academics tab and click on the Griffon GPS link under the Student Records channel.<\/p>\n For more information and tutorials about Griffon GPS, visit the\u00a0Griffon GPS website<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n APPEAL OF TRANSFERABILITY OR COURSE EQUIVALENCIES You should speak with your academic advisor if you believe an elective credit course has significant similarity to a 大象传媒 Western course or that a course was incorrectly evaluated. Courses that are applicable to your degree program will be evaluated by your academic department and they will submit the appropriate paperwork to have your record updated accordingly.<\/p>\n If it is determined that a course should be re-evaluated, please begin by contacting a Transcript Evaluator in the Office of Admissions at (816) 271-4266, or email\u00a0transfer@missouriwestern.edu<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n After consulting the Office of Admissions, a student wishing to appeal should take the following steps:<\/p>\n REPEAT POLICY You may repeat any course you take at 大象传媒 Western. When a course is repeated, the original grade remains on the transcript but is excluded (E) from the GPA calculation and the most recent grade is included (I) in the GPA. Topics and related format courses which change in content on a semester-to-semester basis do not apply in this regard. The A\/Cr\/U option cannot be used to repeat a course in which a prior letter grade of D or F was earned.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
