Ferrum College

Transfer Credit Policy

 

Ferrum College will accept transfer credit (including distance education classes) from other regionally accredited institutions; however,  degree recipients must complete at least 32 of their last 64 credit hours at Ferrum College.  At least 50 percent of the hours required for a major and minor(s) must be completed at Ferrum. Transfer students are required to meet the Liberal Arts Core requirements, including writing intensive, speaking intensive, and experiential requirements, as outlined in the catalog.  This requirement may be waived at the discretion of the program coordinator.  All non-developmental courses above 100 level which have been passed with a “C” or better grade, will be accepted for credit as necessary for graduation. Students with transferable credit will not be required to repeat equivalent course content at Ferrum.  Students must meet the number of upper level hours required for graduation by the student’s major program and the College.  Only credit hours, not grade point average, transfer to Ferrum College.  Therefore, transfer credit does not enter into the grade point average for honors.
