Graduation, Advanced Standing, and Accelerationprior_learningGraduation, Advanced Standing, and Acceleration Students are expected to satisfactorily complete eight semesters of full-time study (excluding summer terms) in order to earn the bachelor's degree. The University awards degrees in May, August, and December of each year, although commencement ceremonies are held only in May. A diploma will not be dated before all work is completed. Students who graduate in December may participate in commencement exercises the following May. In order to ensure timely clearance, all students who plan to graduate should confirm their diploma names online. With permission from the student's Academic Dean, there are two ways the time to degree can be shortened (accelerated): (1) by qualifying for Advanced Standing or (2) by completing all requirements in less than 8 full-time semesters. Details of these two paths are given below. Advanced Standing Beginning with the Class of 2024: Students who earn a minimum of 30 Advanced Placement units may be eligible for Advanced Standing and complete their undergraduate studies after six semesters of full-time study. Ordinarily, Advanced Standing is for one full year only. Students interested in this option should be in touch with their Academic Dean no sooner than the completion of their first semester at BC. No decisions on Advanced Standing will be made prior to this time. Students seeking Advanced Standing must be able to complete all degree requirements by the proposed graduation date and be approved for2026www.bc.edu

Taking Courses at Other Institutionstransfer_creditStudents who have taken leaves of absence or have not enrolled in consecutive semesters at the Woods College are not eligible for transfer credit for courses taken during their absence from the Woods College.2026www.bc.edu
Transfer Credit Policiestransfer_creditTransfer Credit Policies Graduate students may request the transfer of no more than 6 graduate credits. Courses will be considered for transfer if the student has received a grade of B or better and if the course has not been applied to a prior degree. If approved, the transfer course and credit, but not the grade, will be recorded on the student’s academic record. Credit received for courses completed more than ten years before a student’s admission to his or her current degree program is not acceptable for transfer. Students are advised to consult with the procedures and policies of their department or school for exceptions to this policy.2026www.bc.edu
Transfer Credits and Placement for Computer Science Coursestransfer_creditTransfer Credits and Placement for Computer Science Courses The Computer Science Department will accept transfer credits from other schools with documentation (for example, syllabi) sufficient for us to determine course equivalence. Before taking an external course, check BC's academic policies. AP, IB, and GCE scores are used to make placement decisions, but not for course credit. Specifically, students who score a 5 on the Computer Science A exam, or a 4 or 5 on the Computer Science AB exam, or who have significant programming experience, should consult with the Chairperson of the Department or Undergraduate Program Director about starting the Computer Science course sequence with CSCI1102.2026www.bc.edu
Transfer of Credittransfer_creditTransfer of Credit Students may apply coursework taken at another regionally accredited or ATS-accredited university or school of theology towards their degree programs at the Clough School, subject to the following criteria: Credits cannot have been used toward any prior degree program; Only graduate-level coursework, in which the student earned a grade of “B” or better, will be considered; credits may be no more than five years old at the time of the student’s graduation from said institution; with exception : credits transferred into the MDIV program may be no more than 6 years old at the time of the transfer of credit request. coursework must be relevant to the student's CSTM degree program.2026www.bc.edu
Transfer of Credittransfer_creditTransfer of Credit Boston College transfer credit policies are established by the Deans and Faculty of each undergraduate division. Course evaluations are completed by the Office of Transfer Admission. Any questions regarding the evaluation of courses, either before or after enrollment, should be directed to the Office of Transfer Admission. At Boston College, transfer credit is established on a course-by-course basis. Transferable courses must have been completed at regionally accredited colleges or universities and must be similar in content, depth, and breadth to courses taught at Boston College. In addition, a minimum grade of C- must have been earned. Boston College students must complete the following number of credit hours for graduation: Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences—120, Carroll School of Management—120, Lynch School of Education and Human Development—120, and Connell School of Nursing—117. A maximum of 60 credit hours will be allowed in transfer. The unit of credit at Boston College is the semester hour. Most courses earn 3 semester hours of credit. Lab sciences usually earn 4 semester hours of credit. No credit will be granted for internships, field experiences, practica, military training, or independent study. Applicants seeking to have online courses accepted in transfer by Boston College should submit a syllabus for each course, including information about contact hours and exam requirements. Grade point averages do not transfer with students. A new grade point average begins with the commencement of a student's career at the University and reflects only work completed as a full-time undergraduate at Boston College. For transfer students, courses taken during the summer prior to enrollment at Boston College should be approved in advance by the Office of Transfer Admission to avoid difficulty in the transfer of credits. For all incoming freshmen and currently enrolled students, all summer courses must be approved in advance by the appropriate deans. College credit courses taken in high school with high school teachers and other high school students cannot be used for credit. These courses may be assigned advanced placement units only if a corresponding College Board AP exam is taken and a qualifying score is earned.2026www.bc.edu
Transfer of Credittransfer_creditTransfer of Credit The unit of credit at Boston College is the semester hour. Most courses earn 3 semester hours of credit. Lab sciences usually earn 4 semester hours of credit. Courses in transfer with credit values ranging from 1–4 semester hours of credit will be considered on a course by course basis. A maximum of 30 credit hours for a first semester sophomore, 45 for a second semester sophomore and 60 semester hours of credit for an incoming junior will be allowed in transfer. No transfer credit will be granted for internships, field experiences, practica, or independent study. Grade point averages do not transfer with students. A new grade point average begins with the commencement of a student’s career at the University and reflects only work completed as a full-time undergraduate at Boston College. A new grade point average also begins when students transfer from the Woods College of Advancing Studies to one of the full-time undergraduate schools or when a full-time undergraduate transfers to the Woods College of Advancing Studies. Courses taken at other institutions during the summer prior to enrollment at Boston College must be approved in advance by the Office of Transfer Admission. Courses taken through the Boston College Summer Session during the summer prior to enrollment must be approved by the appropriate Academic Dean. Once a student matriculates, courses may not be taken concurrently at other institutions for credit or enrichment in a Boston College undergraduate degree program.2026www.bc.edu
