- EG - Elective Graduate
Course Title
If a course number has been assigned, the bet365中文 title is listed. If elective credit has been assigned, the original title from your previous school is listed.
Grade Assignment for Transfer Courses
Military Credit and Credit by Exam are entered in the same manner; however, 'P'(pass) grades will be assigned to the course equivalencies.
Only letter grades of A, B, C, D, F, or P (without consideration of +/-) are used in calculating your inclusive cumulative grade point average (GPA). The inclusive GPA is the GPA utilized to determine Academic Honors when graduating. 'I' grades and unofficial withdrawals are recalculated as ‘F'. P carries no quality points and is not used in calculating GPA.
*The Repeat Indicator for courses are E and I. E means it is excluded from GPA and I is included in GPA

Students who have completed Basic Training are awarded two hours of Physical Activity and three hours of HHP 1250 - Wellness Concepts and Practice .

Credit may be awarded only after review and approval by the appropriate academic department chair and dean.

Major/Minor Substitution: Must be submitted by your advisor and approval must be obtained by the department in which the student is majoring/minoring.

Prior Learning Assessment (PLA)
Austin Peay knows that many nontraditional students come to the university with significant prior experiences. Students may earn college credit for prior experiences in several ways. Prior learning may come from several experiences, such as skills gained from prior employment or military service, previously obtained licenses, earned certificates, or other similar examples. Credit is not guaranteed; however, we encourage nontraditional students to review the Prior-Learning Credit to determine if this is something of interest.
