Help me understand this transfer policy

[Merlin]

I think they are saying that 25% of the credits must come from ECU (residency requirement) and 50% of the major must come from a 4-yr school.

But they also say "at least 50% of the total hours required in the major must be completed at ECU".

I'm reading that as essentially a dumbly written policy where part b adds no new information.

Yeah, it isn't well written. I think it means that all the credits in the major must come either from ECU, or another 4-year college, but at least 50% must be from ECU since it says AND and not OR. Otherwise, it would say 50% must come from any 4-year school, including ECU.

So 50% could come from ECU and 50% could come from other 4-year schools, but none of the courses in the major can come from a CC or CLEP/DSST.

The only way to know for sure is to contact the school and ask. There is too much open to interpretation.
