MSSU accepts different types of Alternative credits. Students may earn a total of 48 credit hours through alternative credit options (Dual Credits, Retro credits, and Pathways to Healthcare credits excluded).
Externally earned alternative credits will be articulated or applied to a student’s transcript only if they are to be applied towards earned credentials at MSSU just prior to the beginning of the start of the effective admitted term, or if courses are to satisfy prerequisites for classes.
Credits may be awarded as transfer credits on a transcript or applied to a degree audit directly to meet specific degree requirements.
Refer to the specific Alternative Credit types for additional processes and course equivalencies.
