Transfer Credit:

4. Credit earned at other accredited institutions will be evaluated in terms of how it fulfills the graduation requirements at Purdue Calumet.

5. After admission, transfer courses will be evaluated on an individual basis to see how credit meets Purdue University Calumet graduation requirements.
