Common Course Numbering Guidelines

Common Course Numbering System
North Dakota University System academic disciplines (agriculture, biology, chemistry, etc.) have come together to create courses within their discipline that are common (and transferable) across the state. Common means that a course offered on one campus will transfer to another campus as the same course. Click the link above to see which courses are guaranteed to transfer with you to the new campus.

General Education Requirement Transfer Agreement
The General Education Requirement Transfer Agreement is an agreement among all NDUS institutions and North Dakota Tribal colleges to honor one another's general education (GE) programs as equivalent to their own. This means that students can complete the GEs at any campus, then transfer to a new campus, and have no more GEs to complete. Click above to see which courses satisfy statewide GEs.

Transfer and Articulation Steering Committee Members
In 2004 a group of individuals were brought together to discuss North Dakota transfer issues. The group is made up of faculty, staff and administration from across the state. This group continues to meet and discuss transfer issues. Click the link above to view the members of this group. Contact any of them if you have a transfer concern.

Transfer Times Newsletters

Transfer Migration Study
This study is the first of three to comprehensively track North Dakota's in-state transfer students as they migrate between NDUS institutions. The goal of this study is to provide information that will enhance the quality of academic and student services and to provide feedback for good decision making to the campuses preparing those students for transfer.
