Transferring Credits

Alma College will accept credit earned from accredited colleges or universities in the United States. You may request a transfer credit evaluation once you submit a completed application for admission and your transcripts to the Admissions Office.

Guidelines are as follows:

Courses which are graded "C" (2.0) or higher will be accepted for credit.
A maximum of 68 credits (62 semester hours or 90 quarter hours) may be transferred from a two-year institution.
All transfer students must complete the final 34 credits at Alma College for the degree in residence.
Proficiency in English composition must be verified by successful completion of the proficiency measures prescribed by the English Department.
Proficiency in mathematics must be verified by successful completion of the proficiency measures prescribed by the Mathematics Department.
Transferred credit must be documented by receipt of an official transcript from each institution attended.

Alma College will evaluate all courses, including general education, for transferability. Specific information regarding alignment of Alma's general education courses with courses from your college can be obtained by contacting Karen Jezewski in the Admissions Office.
