Transfer Credit

REGULATIONS:

q       Transfer credit procedure shall be initiated in the Enrollment Services Office.*

q       Evaluation of transfer credit from another institution shall be made by the department chair, or designated appointee(s) in whose department the student is registered using the following grades:

§         Credit will be given for courses passed with a grade of C or better.  In the evaluating of transfer credit, a grade of S or P will be considered equivalent to a grade of C.

§         Credit will be given for courses passed with a grade of C minus or better if the overall index of the courses being transferred remains at 2.0 or higher.

§         Credit hours granted will be equivalent to the corresponding course hours in this College.  Partial credit may be granted with the approval of the department chair in whose department the course is offered.

§         Transfer credits from other institutions will not be included in the calculations of indexes.

q       Evaluation of transfer credit with the College shall be made by the department chair or designated appointee(s) in the department to which the student transfers.  Grades, including Fs, for courses that have been taken and that are required in the new curriculum shall be transferred as earned.

q       Transfer from one curriculum to another requires consultation with the department chair or designee of the department in which the student is registered and approval of the department chair or designee of the department to which the student wishes to transfer.

q       A student may satisfy degree requirements by taking courses at another college and transferring no more than 12 credit hours within a seven-year period after leaving this College.  This transfer program shall have prior written approval by his/her department chair.  Courses transferred in this manner may replace comparable courses already taken at this College, thereby removing such courses from the calculation of index.

 *The above rules and regulations are listed under ACADEMIC REGULATIONS-305 in the Student Handbook.  

 q       To receive an associate degree, at least 30 credit hours (not  including challenge credit) must be completed at this College.**

TRANSFER CREDIT MANUAL:

q       A preliminary transfer credit evaluation will be done in the Enrollment Services Office. This evaluation will be finalized by the student’s department chair.

q       The transfer evaluation of a course within a specific discipline may be changed on an individual student basis if the discipline department chairperson is willing to do so.***

q       If the discipline department chairperson is not willing to change the transfer evaluation of a course on an individual student basis, that student may appeal to the Dean where the course resides.***  The Dean will notify the student and the department  chairperson of the decision which is made.

*** At Dean’s Council, on 5/8/01, the above was approved and this statement will be added to our Transfer Credit Manual.  

 

AP-CLEP Transfer Credit

A student  who successfully completes either Advanced Placement (AP) or College Level Examination Program (CLEP) examinations will be granted transfer credit as predetermined by the respective department chair.   Each Student must request that an official copy of a transcript be sent to this College.   A student contemplating taking an AP or CLEP examination should be aware that Alfred State College requires the student to take the “Subject” examination and, if applicable, the optional essay section.  Alfred State is a testing center for CLEP; for further information regarding the testing center, please contact the Center for Community Education & Training.
