Credit Limits for Courses

This new setting allows you to limit the number of allowed transfer credits in total and from 2-year institutions.

• What is the maximum number of credits that can be transferred in?

  • Leave blank if you don't want to set a credit limit. Any credits brought in above this number will automatically be set with the respective matched course but with a Status of "Credit Not Granted".

    • DegreeSight will take the 2-year institution credits into account first.

• What is the max number of transfer credits of Upper-level courses?

  • Leave blank if you don't want to set a credit limit. Any credits brought in above this number will automatically be set with the respective matched course but with a Status of "Credit Not Granted".

    • DegreeSight will assume any course with a suffix with 3*** or 4*** as Upper Level.

You can set a default status for any courses taken outside of that limit:
