Transfer of Credits Overview
An initial review and granting of transfer credits will be completed by the Office of Admissions at the point of acceptance to all degree programs, and accepted students will be notified of their transferable credits in their acceptance packet.
A student may request additional transfer credit for academic work completed at another accredited college or university if the student feels that they have taken an appropriately equivalent course but did not receive transfer credit during their initial review. To do so, the student submits (preferably via email) a Transcript Review Request to the Office of Admissions, and verifies with the Office of Admissions that their transcript with a final course grade is on file.
A student seeking transfer credits for courses for which he or she is registered in a semester must submit the request at least two weeks before the first day of classes in that semester. The Transcript Review Request form must be completed and accompanied by all appropriate supporting documents, including a course description and, if necessary, a course syllabus. The request will be reviewed by the Office of Admissions and the Vice President of Academic Affairs, and – if required - the disciplinary professor responsible for assessing transferability of course(s). The Office of Admissions will notify the student of the decision via Labouré College email.
