    <\/a>Students may transfer credits earned at other accredited institutions, including various colleges and universities, the Community College of the Air Force, Armed Services Education Experiences as outlined in the Armed Services Evaluation Guide, and USAFI courses, for major coursework required by programs at 天美传媒 Bay. It is the student’s responsibility to furnish the College with official transcripts of academic courses from any institution attended, and a catalog from each institution attended with course descriptions for which transfer credit is sought. Grades of “C” or better in courses judged by the College to be equivalent in nature and content to 天美传媒 Bay offerings will be accepted. Final determination of transferability rests with the Vice President of Academic Affairs.\u00a0 Students seeking degrees or certificates at 天美传媒 Bay must fulfill residency requirements. The student must have a minimum of 60 credits to complete a degree and must complete all required courses for his or her academic program. A student who transfers in three math or science courses or ENGL110 College Composition I may need to take additional elective courses to meet the degree credit minimum.<\/p>
