The UUCC will report substantial changes to the board for further approval. Note: The Virginia Commonwealth University Board of Visitors gives the University Undergraduate Curriculum Committee the authority to review these sources of academic credit as needed. For more information, contact the Transfer Center at (804) 827-1349. Official transcripts may be sent to VCU Transfer Center, Box 842532, Richmond, VA 23284-2532. In order to be eligible for academic credit, new students must submit transcripts and/or scores to the VCU Transfer Center before the end of the first semester of enrollment. Once the faculty review is complete, the University Undergraduate Curriculum Committee provides a secondary review and then publishes the results by means of transfer tables in the VCU Undergraduate Bulletin indicating the examination, test score, VCU course equivalent and number of credits awarded. Faculty members verify such judgments through feedback provided from student performance in more advanced courses at VCU.

After reviewing such materials, faculty members make informed judgments about what credit, if any, is to be awarded. Faculty members from the relevant academic departments review the subject curricula, subject examinations, grade distributions and marking schemes provided by these examination agencies.

The awarding of credit is determined by the faculty. Students should consult the charts below for academic credit guidelines. These additional sources include: Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, Cambridge Advanced, College Level Examination Program, military service credit recommended by the American Council on Education and the DANTES Subject Standardized Test Program.
