Prior to taking a course at another accredited institution a student must work with his/ her advisor to complete a Transfer Course Approval form that should be submitted to the Registrar’s Office for final approval. Courses taken at other accredited institutions in which a grade of C- or better, a 1.70 grade point average, or a 70 number grade or above will be accepted by Saint Vincent College toward a student’s graduation.
Because only one course in each field is required to complete the core, the Mathematics and Fine Arts requirements must be completed at Saint Vincent.
Once matriculated, students may transfer credit for no more than a total of five (5) courses with no more than one course applied to the requirement of a given core area.
In order for the transfer work to be documented on a student’s record, an official transcript must be sent to the Registrar’s Office as soon as possible upon completion of the course. Courses will be documented with the grade of “T,” which will not count toward the student’s GPA.
For registration purposes for currently enrolled students, transfer credits must be received by March 15 to be included in credits completed for the following fall registration; transfer credits must be received by Oct. 15 to be included in credits completed for the following spring registration.
