This varies widely from student to student depending on the circumstances. Transfer allocation is done by the LAS College Office. They accept the Illinois Articulation Initiative General Education Core Curriculum (IAI GECC) as a general education core if a student successfully completes the IAI curriculum before transferring and this is indicated on the student's official transcript. In addition to the IAI “package,” however, these students must also complete the Experiential Learning requirement and the Capstone seminar, as well as four domain electives chosen in consultation with a DePaul University academic advisor. Students who have not completed at least two Religious Dimensions and two Philosophical Inquiry courses must incorporate these courses into the four required domain electives. LSP 200 may substitute for one of these from required domain electives.
Appeals of transfer credit allocation may be filed with the LAS College Office. Confer with your Islamic World Studies advisor about this.
Please note that students cannot earn credit for the same class through both transfer credit and a DePaul course. Thus, students should be careful NOT to enroll in any courses for which they have already been granted (or expect to receive) transfer credit.
