NDUS TRANSFER AGREEMENT

The University of North Dakota participates in the General Education Requirements Transfer Agreement (GERTA) with other North Dakota institutions. Students who have completed their general education requirements at another North Dakota institution recognized by GERTA should request proof of this completion be sent to the UND Office of the Registrar. Students who have completed an Associates of Arts degree or who have completed their general education requirements at another North Dakota University System(NDUS) institution will be deemed to have completed the general education requirements at UND.

UND coursework generally acceptable at other NDUS schools as general education courses are designated on the list that follows, e.g., ND:ENGL. Please direct questions about the NDUS Transfer Agreement to the UND Registrar’s Office or another NDUS institution.
