TROY UNIVERSITY	AREA V PAGE
We appreciate your interest in Troy University. ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT: Troy University is dedicated to making the transfer transition as easy as possible.  As required by Alabama State Law, Troy University will take your course work as outlined on the STARS Transfer Guide and graduate you with the same number of hours as our native students in the same major (assuming you do not change majors).  The STARS Transfer Guide and the Troy University Area V page, if used correctly, guides the student through their first two years of course work and prevents loss of credit hours upon transfer to Troy University.  If you have obtained a STARS Transfer Guide for Nursing, we would strongly recommend that you print this page and use it along with your official STARS guide.  Upon transfer, please bring these documents so that we can insure a smooth academic transition from the community college to one of our Troy University Campuses. SPECIAL NOTE: This is for use Alabama Community College students only.  If you are transferring to Troy University from another institution  outside of the Alabama Community College System, please contact our admissions office for up-to-date transfer information.
