CREATING YOUR ACADEMIC PLAN TO GRADUATION
By Maryland law, once you have earned 45 credits of
coursework, all students must have an academic plan that lists
the courses needed to complete your degree for each semester
leading to graduation. Transfer students must have a plan in the
first semester at Towson. You will work with your academic
advisor to create your academic plan. We have created a website
with all the information needed to assist you with the creation of
your academic plan at
http://towson.edu/cbe/resources/advising/academicplan.html.

TRANSFER GUIDELINES
What does “Validation” Required mean?
A course taken at the lower level (100-200) at a community
college or four-year educational institution is not equivalent to a
TU upper-level course. In order to fulfill an upper-level major
course requirement, the content of the transfer work must be
validated. A transfer course requiring validation is identified with
a “T” instead of the 300-number code, e.g., ACCT T01 for ACCT
301, etc.
How to Validate: Complete the course specified below with a
grade equivalent of 2.0 or higher at TU.
Validate the transferred course, don’t repeat it. If you enroll in
a course with the same course content as the transferred course,
the units earned in the transfer course will not count towards
graduation because it will be treated as a repeat.
