The transcript evaluation becomes part of the student's electronic record at 四虎影视.
Some transfer courses may be labeled as "accepted" by 四虎影视, but not equivalent to a specific course offered at Lamar. Such courses may be used as free electives; however, the DPD Program Director/or department chair are free to make decisions whether to accept the courses as meeting degree requirements (unless the courses are used to meet the Lamar Core Curriculum).
