Transfer Credit

Transfer students will be awarded credit for all courses previously completed at an accredited institution of higher education with a grade of "C" or higher. The specific credit to be awarded and how those credits will be applied toward general education and program requirements will be determined by the Registrar, in consultation with the appropriate department chair. Credits earned for developmental courses may be transferred in to fulfill course pre-requisites but will not apply toward the minimum hours for the degree.

Courses transferred in will be shown as transfer credit (a grade of "TR") on the Marietta College transcript. The grades earned for transferred courses are not included in computing the cumulative or program grade point averages. Transfer hours do not count as hours “in residence;” see the Residency Requirements section of the Undergraduate Graduation Requirements for more details.

Transfer credit from non-accredited institutions is determined on a course-by-courses basis upon review of a course syllabus.

Credit hours transferred in from an institution following a quarter or a unit program will be converted to semester hours.

Transfer of credit for first-year students who have earned college credit while in high school will be determined as outlined above.
