Most of you are aware that the advisement reports reference transfer credit articulation term (usually the student’s first term at the UA), as opposed to the external term the student actually took a transfer course at another institution. This causes problems when trying to calculate whether 18 or more of a student’s last 30 units before graduation were taken at the UA or as transfer credit. Because of this limitation and the potential implication for graduation delays and general petitions, the advisement reports will no longer present this calculation, but will simply state the policy and refer the student to an academic advisor for clarification:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'>“A minimum of 18 of the final 30 units taken toward degree requirements must be in residence at The University of Arizona.
