+=== Summer/winter courses outside the U.S. are generally not approved ===
+The Department of Mathematics and Statistics generally does **not** approve transfer credit for courses taken outside the United States that are **not** part of a regular degree-granting curriculum (in particular, standalone summer or winter courses abroad).
+**Exceptions** may be made for courses taken through approved programs and institutions, including programs organized by or affiliated with Binghamton University (for example, BU study-abroad programs and courses offered by BU partner institutions).
+We will continue to review transfer-credit requests for:
+  * courses taken in the United States, and
+  * courses taken outside the United States as part of a regular degree-granting curriculum (for example, coursework completed while enrolled full-time at a foreign university prior to transferring to Binghamton).
-The Department of Mathematics and Statistics will not consider transfer credits for courses taken in programs outside of the U.S. that are not part of a regular degree-granting curriculum (in particular, summer and winter courses outside of the U.S.) Numerous concerns have emerged in the past few years about the academic integrity of these courses. Exceptions of this policy are courses from a whitelist of programs and institutions, including programs organized by or associated with Binghamton University (such as the study abroad program, and collaborative programs with Binghamton University’s foreign partner institutions). The Department of Mathematics and Statistics will continue to review transfer credit requests for courses taken in the U.S., and courses taken outside of the U.S. as part of a regular degree-granting curriculum (examples of the latter case are courses that a student previously took in XYZ university as a full-time student prior to transferring to Binghamton University.)
