Credit Adjustment & Re-Evaluation

At the University Transfer Center, we know the transfer process can be complex. While the university works hard to streamline the process, sometimes credit needs a deeper look!

There are two petition types students can use to ask the university to check the details a bit more and evaluate transfer credit. Our goal is to minimize transfer credit loss for as many transfer students as possible!

Transfer Credit Re-Evaluation Request

  • Students can request adjustments to their transferred credits through petitions in Banner Self Service
  • General Education requests should use the General Education Requirements petition type.
  • For other requests that must be evaluated by the student’s major department, requests should use the Transfer Credit Adjustment petition type.
    • After the petition type has been selected read and follow the instructions for each specific petition type. These instructions state the minimum needed information for approval.
    • *Approval is not guaranteed.

Transient Study Petition Process

  • Transient students are Charlotte undergraduate degree-seeking students who are also taking courses at another institution.
  • Charlotte is considered to be the home institution and the school you will be attending is the visiting institution.
  • The Transient Study petition can be accessed through Banner Self-Service and should be completed before beginning a course at another institution.
  • Students should use the Transfer Credit Advisor tool to see if a course is transferable as the desired course from the visiting institution to the home institution (Charlotte).
  • The processing of the transient study does not occur until the course is complete and an official transcript is received by Charlotte.
The Process for Transient Study:

Understanding the Transient Study Process will help students know what they need to do to have their credit applied to their Charlotte Transcript after taking a course at another institution.

  • First, students will need to apply and get into their visiting institution. If you need to order Charlotte transcripts, here is the link: https://ninercentral.charlotte.edu/grades-transcripts-graduation/transcripts/
  • When registering for a class or classes at a visiting institution, students will need to check the Transfer Credit Advisor to make sure they are taking the course that will transfer to Charlotte as the course they need.
  • The student will need to submit a Transient Study petition through Banner Self-Service. You will need to choose the course and its equivalent at the visiting institution, and choose the course it will transfer in as at Charlotte.
  • Once a grade has been awarded at the visiting institution, the student will need to have an official transcript sent to the Registrar’s Office here at Charlotte.
