[QUOTE="GTpdm, post: 934587, member: 1451"] At Tech, it’s 36 hours, not 60. No restriction on how many years/semesters must be spent at Tech. In principle, a student could transfer in and earn a degree in two semesters…but that is predicated on their prior coursework lining up perfectly, and the scheduling of their remaining GT courses conveniently falling together in two consecutive semesters. Not likely to happen in practice. What tends to hold back students who transfer in their junior or senior years is not the 36 Hour Rule, but the fact that their coursework at the prior school does not line up with the requirements of most GT degrees—they have far too many courses on their transcript that (a) are over and above the Institute Core requirements (English/humanities/social sciences/intro lab science), and (b) don’t satisfy any major-specific requirements. Those courses end up being transferred as Free Elective courses, and the student ands up with an surplus of such Free Electives—with the excess not being applicable toward their degree path. As a consequence, the nominal 36-hour requirement ends up being something more like 45-50 hours (or more) credit hours. [/QUOTE]
