Evaluation of undergraduate transfer credit is completed
in the order tuition deposits are received.
The evaluation of undergraduate transfer
credit is produced from official academic
records bearing the correct seals and duly
authorized signatures from all former institutions.
The Office of the Registrar coordinates
the process, certifies courses without respect
to the major and provides notice of the
official evaluation. Transcripts are considered
offical only when mailed directly to Florida
Tech from each previously attended institution.
The application of undergraduate transfer credit to the degree
program is completed by the respective academic department. Students
may be asked to supply a relevant course catalog, syllabi and course
descriptions.

The process of certifying undergraduate transfer
credit requires much time and effort on the part of
a few individuals. While every effort is made to have
the official certification of transfer credit completed
in a timely manner, certain situations may delay the
process. Regional accreditation regulations allow one
semester in which to complete this process.
