Degree credit for course work taken at any other regionally-accredited institution is acceptable toward the individual's course work in the Wittenberg program, subject to the manner in which it may fit into his or her program. Note: Only course work with a grade of C or better is eligible for transfer.
 

1. Transfer credit from semester system institution is evaluated and placed onto the academic record on a 1:1 ratio, e.g., 3 semester hours are evaluated as 3 semester hours on the academic record.
2. Transfer credit from quarter system institution is evaluated and converted to semester hours on a .67:1 ratio, e.g., 5 - quarter hours are evaluated as 3.33 semester hours on the academic record.
3. The Registrar, in consultation with the director of General Education, determines how, or whether transfer credits may satisfy requirements in the department's major and minor programs. The student may be asked to present a portfolio of work, syllabi, or other materials to assist with this determination and to establish placement in a major or minor program. At least 50% of the credits required for a major program must be taken in residence.
4. In applying transfer credits to general education requirements, 3 semester hours are sufficient to fulfill a 4 semester - hour requirement. This rule can apply to major requirements if prior approval has been granted by the Department Chair.

Although the grades granted for the transfer appear on the transcript, they are not calculated into the GPA.

Transfer of credit for a course in mathematics, computer science, or statistics (including Management 210 and Psychology 107) taken at any other institution is accepted by Wittenberg only if the student has met the prerequisites for the course at Wittenberg. Also, work taken at another institution does not count under the repeat rule; i.e., the grade earned at the other institution does not replace the grade earned at Wittenberg.

Request to Transfer Credit Form must be filed with the Registrar prior to taking the work.
