Transfer Credit Approval Procedures

Approval Procedures For Transferring General Course Credit

Art History Coordinator: Dr. Elena Calvillo
Visual Media and Arts Practice Coordinator: Jeremy Drummond

BEFORE signing up for the class at another institution, students should e-mail a copy of the course catalog description to the Art History Coordinator or the Visual and Media Arts Practice Coordinator. The Art History Coordinator will then let you know whether the class qualifies for transfer to UR. Credit may transfer only for courses that are comparable to the work required for Art History courses offered at the University of Richmond. Please read the course catalog descriptions carefully. 

Upon return to campus, you should submit your transfer credit information to the Art and Art History Department Admin. located in Office # 221 in the Visual Arts Building. The Department Admin. will then contact you after the form has been signed and is available for pick up. Please allow a few days turnover time for signing to take place.

Please submit the following information depending on origin of Transfer Credit (U.S. vs. Study Abroad): 

• U.S. Transfer Credit: A single sheet with the catalog course description (usually found at given school’s registrar website) along with a completed Transfer Work Approval Form. This form is available in the Registrar’s Office.

• Study Abroad Transfer Credit: A single sheet with the catalog course description (usually found at given school’s registrar website) along with a completed Student Abroad Course Approval Form. This form is available in the Office of International Education.
