Transfer students who took lower division business courses at another school or university that are equivalent to required upper division business courses at Gonzaga, or who took upper division business courses as a freshman or sophomore at another university, must have these courses validated for transfer.

Validation must be completed during the student's first year at Gonzaga. Validation of lower division courses may be completed by taking one of the following:

1) an advanced course, if available, in the same discipline to demonstrate competence. A minimum grade of "C" must be earned in the advanced course;

2) a CLEP or PEP exam, or a departmental exam, if available, and earning a passing score. No credits are given for these exams.
