of the first semester. For a degree or diploma to be awarded by Herzing University, the last 12 semester credit hours and at least 25
percent of the total credits required for the degree/diploma must be taken at Herzing University. The total number of credits transferred
to Herzing University, plus course exemption credits, must not exceed 75 percent of the credits required for a degree/diploma.
