Petition for Credit

Did you take AP, IB, CLEP or other credit-by-exam tests? Follow the steps below to have the credit applied to your unofficial transcript:

  1. Talk to your advisor about which credit will work in your degree program.
  2. Log into your MyUTA account.
    • Navigate to the Academic Record Tile
    • On the left menu, select the Petition for Credit Tab
    • Please read through all the instructions on the Petition for Credit screen before scrolling to the bottom of the page
    • Toggle the bottom from "No" to "Yes", selecting only the classes that apply to your degree plan
    • Click the Submit my Request for Credit button to finalize your request

You may receive credit for a course only once, any duplicates will no longer have a “Select Credit” option once you have submitted your choices. You cannot go back and unselect any of the items you submitted. However, if you choose not to petition for a particular course at this time, you may come back at anytime while you are a current student and complete the petition for that course.

*To claim credit for CLEP Spanish, French or German, you must go to Testing Services.
