Transfer Students

Programs of Study for Transfer Students

Students may transfer a maximum of 40 credits into Garrett from post secondary institutions approved by the American Council on Education. However, not all credits may be applicable to the student's curriculum, and each student must earn at least 24 credits in residence at Garrett. Students who wish to transfer credit hours to Garrett College should have a transcript of previous work forwarded to the Director of Records and Registration's office prior to enrollment. Appropriate credits are accepted in transfer to Garrett; grades do not transfer. Students should consult with their advisors to determine which transfer credits are applicable and which requirements must be completed.

Students whose quality grade point average is at the 2.00 level or higher at the sending institution will receive credit for all transferable course work in which a grade of "D" or better was achieved. However, a minimum grade of "C-" must be earned in English Composition I for it to be transferable.

Students whose quality grade point average at the sending institution is below the 2.00 level will receive credit for all transferable course work in which a grade of "C-" or better was achieved.

Guidelines for the number and kind of transfer credit used to satisfy the major requirements of Career-Occupational Programs are made by the directors of the various programs.

All students must complete at least 24 credit hours at Garrett College in order to be eligible for a degree.

Students seeking a certificate must take at least 12 credit hours of their program at Garrett College.

Students who have attended another college, but have withdrawn while on academic probation, suspension, or dismissal status from that institution, will be subject to the same procedures as Garrett College students who are in the same academic situation.
