Reverse Transfer

Earn your associate’s degree as you continue completing your bachelor’s degree at UCF.

What is Reverse Transfer?

UCF students who earned 30 or more credits at a Florida state college and have transferred to UCF without an associate’s degree may “Reverse Transfer” the earned credits from UCF and combine those credits earned at the Florida state college to complete an associate’s degree. This process makes it possible for students to earn an associate’s degree as they continue to work toward completing their bachelor’s degree at UCF without any jeopardy to their status at UCF.

What are the benefits of Reverse Transfer?

  • An earned associate’s degree from a Florida state college partner completes the UCF General Education Program (GEP).
  • Better job opportunities while completing your bachelor’s degree at UCF and both degrees on a resume demonstrate broader skills and training.
  • The associate’s degree is the nation’s fastest growing work credential; employers recognize its value when recruiting and hiring.
  • Students who complete their associate’s degree are more likely and more motivated to complete their bachelor’s degree.
  • Sense of accomplishment and completion!
  • There is no risk! Even though hours earned at UCF are applied toward the associate’s degree, the hours earned at UCF still apply toward the bachelor’s degree.
