Transfer Credits

Mount Aloysius College will consider credits for transfer into associate and bachelor degree programs from coursework taken at regionally-accredited postsecondary institutions which have received full accreditation, where the course work is equivalent to that of Mount Aloysius College and in which the student received a grade of “C” or better. Transfer credits are also granted from nationally accredited post-secondary institutions on a case-by-case basis. Transfer credits will be awarded based on the similarity of course exit competencies and is a function of course content, length, caliber of faculty, and quality of practical experiences, where applicable. As a central principle, implementation of this policy will provide equitable treatment for native and transfer students and ensure that students will not be required to repeat course work completed at an acceptable level of performance at a previously attended institution. It is the student’s responsibility to provide course descriptions and catalogs to the Office of Undergraduate and Graduate Admissions from the college or university in order to evaluate course equivalence. Failure to submit course descriptions will void advanced academic standing.

Course work that has been completed seven (7) or more years previously may or may not be accepted as transfer credit. Students transferring a microbiology or an anatomy and physiology course must have credit for a laboratory.

Students seeking transfer admissions to Mount Aloysius College will have all transcripts reviewed initially by the Office of Undergraduate and Graduate Admissions or the Center for Lifelong Learning in collaboration with the Office of the Registrar. Matriculated students at Mount Aloysius College are required to obtain permission from the Registrar prior to enrolling in courses at another postsecondary institution. Appropriate faculty will be involved as needed to determine the appropriateness and applicability of accepted courses to a specific degree program.
