Undergraduate Transfer Credit Problem

Transfer credit is known to be problematic or not accepted for these courses at other institutions

Certain courses at other institutions have one or more problems that cause them not to be eligible for transfer credit at WFU. Also, many introductory physics sequences available while studying abroad are not structured to allow for transfer credit for either PHY 113 or 114.

The following institutions also have known problems:

UNC Charlotte for PHY 113 & 114 credit (3/31/15)

UNCC splits the material covered in PHY 113 & 114 into 3 courses. In order to get WFU transfer credit for PHY 113 & 114, students must take PHYS 2101, 2102, and 3102 along with the lab courses PHYS 2101L and 2102L.
