Transfer Credit Policy
The College will award transfer credit for comparable coursework in which the student has earned grades of “C” or better, provided that the institution at which the credit was earned is accredited by its regional accrediting agency. The College’s registrar evaluates the transcripts of incoming transfer students to determine course equivalents for general and divisional requirements. Department chairpersons evaluate transcripts of incoming transfer students to determine course equivalents for departmental requirements. For Additional Transfer Credit Guidelines, visit the Transfer Applicants page.
