SDCL § 13-53-43: Transfer of credits--General education.

All general education course credit hours fulfilling graduation requirements in institutions accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools accrediting agency shall be transferable between the universities under the control of the Board of Regents and the technical colleges governed by the Board of Technical Education. General education course credit hours are transferable between the technical colleges and universities only for credit for general education courses. General education means those courses which are not directly related to the student's formal technical, vocational, or professional preparation; part of every student's course of study regardless of area of emphasis; and intended to impart common knowledge, intellectual concepts, and attitudes that every educated person should possess.
