Transfer Credit
Saint Joseph College recognizes academic credit that has been awarded to students at other regionally and nationally accredited higher education institutions. Completed courses that are of the general nature of courses offered at Saint Joseph College credit will be applied toward the minimum semester credit-hours required for graduation. Only grades of C- or better are accepted as transfer credit. Saint Joseph College does not grant transfer credit for “Credit by Examination” completed at other colleges. Saint Joseph College does not usually accept P grades unless they are proven to be worth C or better.
Students who wish to transfer credits from another accredited institution for non-major courses must obtain signed approval from their Academic Advisor and the Registrar. Classes that wish to be transferred toward the major, must be approved by the Academic Advisor and Department Chairperson. This policy also governs summer and intersession courses. Transfer credit will not be awarded as a repeat course for a non-passing or low grade received at Saint Joseph College.
Students who transfer credit to Saint Joseph College will receive a “T” (transfer) grade on their academic record. Only the credits earned per class will reflect in total earned credits, letter grades (A – D) do not transfer.
Transfer credit will not be awarded for a class taken outside of Saint Joseph College if that same course has been awarded credit at Saint Joseph College.
