and colleges and universities in foreign countries that hold
official recognition in the specific country in which located:

a course is substantially the same as an existing BGSU course.

a course for which transfer credit is requested has no equivalent
in the same department at BGSU, credit may be awarded in
that department but with no course number assigned. (Example:
History of India = history elective);
- When
the course is in a department not existing at BGSU, credit
may be awarded in a different department. (Example: anthropology
assigned to sociology, some photography courses assigned
to art or technology);
- Credit
may be deferred when equivalency cannot be determined by
the Office of Registration and Records. Procedures exist
for the further evaluation of deferred credit by faculty
members in an appropriate department.
