How will my credits transfer
|
|
Alma College accepts college courses for transfer credit to be applied toward a degree that are similar or equivalent to what’s offered at Alma.
- Courses with a grade of “C” or higher are eligible for transfer credit
- Credits transfer at face value, with the exception of courses taken at institutions that are on the quarter system, in which case they will be evaluated by multiplying the credits per course by .67 to determine the value they will have at Alma.
- Non-credit or remedial courses are not eligible to transfer toward an Alma degree.
Visit our Transfer Credit Evaluation Tool for an estimate of transferable credits. All admitted transfer students receive a transfer credit evaluation (best to prorate based on CIP (courses in progress) with their admission offer.
For individual questions and concerns related to our transfer policies and practices, please contact Ebony Dixon.
