Transfer Credit Students enrolled in the bachelor’s degree programs may receive transfer credit for liberal arts electives as described below. Exemption from other requirements is evaluated only through placement examinations. Graduate students are not eligible for transfer credit. A maximum of 12 elective credits in liberal arts may be transferred from an accredited college or university. The following guidelines apply: the course must be taken during the student’s college years (courses taken while in high school are not eligible); the course must be an eligible elective as determined by the registrar; the grade must be at least C; and the student must provide the registrar with an official transcript. Students who are approved for coursework at Barnard or Columbia through the cross-registration program may satisfy up to 12 liberal arts credits in this way. Approved transfer students who have already received the maximum of 12 transfer credits may satisfy 6 of their remaining 12 credits through the cross-registration program. Juilliard does not grant credit for high school advanced placement courses. Since the liberal arts requirement for a Juilliard bachelor’s degree is minimal (one course per semester), it is important that this requirement be fulfilled with courses taken during residency at Juilliard so that students are able to participate in an interdivisional learning experience.
