Transfer Credit Policy

Overview

Denison accepts transfer credit for courses that are either equivalent to a course in the Denison catalog or at a level deemed appropriate by the department or program in which credit is being sought (hereafter called "the Department"). Requests to have transfer credit fulfill a major, minor, or concentration requirement are subject to approval by the Department. Denison will not normally accept credits earned in disciplines other than those in the Denison curriculum.

Transfer credit will be honored only if taken at an accredited college or university and only if the student submits an official transcript of credit within 180 days of the course completion.

Off-Campus Work

Students considering off-campus work for Denison credit (especially summer school work) must confer with the Registrar, their academic advisor, and their chairperson of the Department (or a designate) prior to enrolling elsewhere. The University has no obligation to award transfer credit for coursework that has not been approved in advance. The courses must be completed with grades of "C" or better in order to be considered for transfer credit.

Non-Tradional Work

Coursework completed in non-traditional fashions, such as distance learning formats, web-based formats, Post Secondary Enrollment Option, inlcuding college courses for which high school credit was also granted, CLEP and other college credit bearing instruments, may be subject to review by the Registrar and the Department.
