Transfer of Credit
The following criteria will be used to determine whether or not a course from another college will be accepted for transfer credit at Carroll:
- The course in question must be from a regionally accredited college or university.
- The student must have received a “C-” or better in the course; the only credits transferred for courses taken on a pass/fail basis will be those with a grade of “P” (pass).
- A maximum of 62 lower-level credits (100-200 level) towards the academic program may be transferred into Carroll College.
- At least one-half of the credits required in the major and minor, must be taken at Carroll College.
- Of the final 45 semester credits earned toward the degree, a minimum of 30 semester credits must be earned at Carroll College. See requirements for graduation as described in this catalog.
- Two semesters or the equivalent in physical education activity courses may be transferable.
- Courses taken on a pass/fail basis will not be accepted into the major or minor. No more than 2 such courses will be allowed toward graduation, whether they are taken at another institution or at Carroll. Beginning Fall 2017, courses taken on a pass/fail basis do not fulfill Core Curriculum requirements.
- Grades earned at other institutions are not calculated into the Carroll College grade point average.
- Any postsecondary coursework taken within 15 years of being admitted or readmitted to the campus will be included in the transfer analysis of core requirements, specific required classes in a major, minor or certificate and elective credits.
- Coursework that falls outside the 15 year guarantee period may be included in the evaluation, at the discretion of the Registrar and appropriate department chair.
- Graduate level coursework will not transfer.
- Students are responsible for sending an original translated copy of their foreign transcripts directly to the Registrar’s Office.
