State Board Core (2008)
The State Board General Education Requirements (also known as State Board Core and the Alternative
General Education Requirements) serve the same function as the UI General Education Core, but apply only
to students who transfer to the University of Idaho from other institutions. The purpose of this document is to
provide clear details as to when a student can be on State Board Core and what courses a student can take
to complete their State Board Core requirements once they are here at the University of Idaho. This
document is in no way a contract and the University reserves the right to make changes to the available
courses or requirements without notice.
When can a student be on State Board Core?
A student is eligible for State Board Core if they transfer from another accredited institution to the University
of Idaho (UI). A newly arrived transfer student with more than 14 transferable credits will be automatically
put on to State Board Core. If a student transfers less than 14 transferable credits to the University of Idaho
they will be placed on the University of Idaho General Education Requirements (UI General Education Core
or UI Core) by default. However, at the student/advisor/department's request that the transferring student
can be moved to the State Board Core. A student who is not awarded any transferable credits does not
qualify to be moved to State Board Core. If a student feels they qualify for this transition, please contact the
Registrar's Office to verify whether or not the student can be moved to State Board Core.
A student who has earned Advanced Placement credit with the University of Idaho may be moved to State
Board Core at the student/advisor/department's request otherwise they are placed on UI Core by default. If
a student feels they qualify for this transition, please contact the Registrar's Office to verify whether or not the
student can be moved to State Board Core.
It is possible for a student to change from the UI General Education Core to the State Board Core if the
student leaves the university and attends another institution and returns to the UI at a later date. For this
stipulation to apply the student must leave the UI for at least a fall or spring semester. The attending another
institution during the summer semester does not count, nor does correspondence study, advanced
placement, or study abroad. The student must legitimately leave the University of Idaho to be changed to
State Board Core. If you have questions about when and why a student can be moved from UI Core to State
Board Core, please contact the Registrar's Office.
Moving a student to State Board Core
To move a student to State Board Core requires a written or e-mail request to the Office of the Registrar from
the advisor, department, or college requesting that the student (with ID#) be moved to State Board Core.
That request will be stored in the student's file as record of the request to move the student to State Board
Core.
New Transfer Student on State Board Core
The Registrar's Office will make a transfer credit evaluation of the student's coursework. Courses that were
general education core courses at the student's original institution will usually be made general education
core courses (core courses) for the purposes of satisfying State Board Core. If a student transfers in with an
Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, or a Bachelor degree, their General Education Core requirements
will be automatically satisfied. Please note that this rule does not apply to students who transfer an
Associate of Applied Science degree to the University of Idaho. For further information regarding an
Associate of Applied Science please contact the Registrar's Office, Transfer Credit Evaluator.
