Log on to your MyStThom account and click on the icon that says Advisor and Registration. You’ll find your advisor’s name, photo and contact information.

You’ll need to fill out a form and bring it to the chair of that department. If they sign it, you would then take the signed form to the registrar’s office.

Once you’ve completed the course, you’ll need to make sure the transcript is sent to the registrar’s office so they can assign you credit, depending on your grade.

Note: some restrictions apply with certain majors that can only be declared if specific conditions are met.

Whether it’s AP exams, dual credit, or previous college courses, the best way to determine exactly how many credits successfully transferred to UST is by visiting our office where we can review this with you one-on-one. In most cases, we’re the best resource on campus for answering this question.

The University requires you successfully complete 126 credit hours to graduate. After we calculate what you’ve completed, what you’re currently taking and what you have left to complete your core curriculum and major requirements, you may end up shy of the 126. If so, you’ll see elective hours on your degree plan. These are the hours you elect to take to fill the gap.

You can elect to take more courses in your major, perhaps fulfill the requirements to achieve a minor, or maybe just look for courses that fit your schedule.
