  • 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.
