After completing at least one year of study at University of Nebraska–Lincoln and meeting the requirements listed above, a Regents Scholar may transfer to another campus of the University of Nebraska. To qualify for an award transfer when the same major is available on both campuses, the student must have met the initial award standards for the campus to which they transfer and the criteria for renewal. To qualify for an award transfer when the major is not available at UNL, the student must meet University of Nebraska–Lincoln renewal criteria. An award can transfer only once, the amount of which is determined by Board of Regents policy. Credit hours earned at a University of Nebraska campus are included in the 120 total hours.
