Transfer Credit Barton accepts transfer credit earned at regionally and nationally accredited colleges in the United States. Transfer credits will be accepted from colleges and universities starting from the year they are accredited or hold candidacy status with their accrediting agencies. Non-accredited institutions are subject for review by the Registrar. All transfer credit will be equated on the semesterhour system. Lower division (freshman and sophomore level) credits earned with a D grade or higher will be calculated in the students’ cumulative grade point average (GPA) and articulated as equivalent Barton courses. Quality points and grade points will be transferred from other colleges and universities and will be averaged into the cumulative GPA. Transfer credit entered on any student’s Barton academic history cannot be removed.

Transfer Credit College-level credits earned at another institution may be transferred to the College if they meet the following criteria: The transfer grade point average is based on all hours attempted at all institutions attended other than Barton College. The institution must be regionally accredited. In evaluating transfer credit, the College accepts the provisions of the North Carolina Comprehensive Articulation Agreement. For institutions outside the North Carolina Comprehensive Articulation Agreement, the eligibility of non-core courses for transfer is determined by the Registrar in consultation with the major faculty. In a core course, the course is eligible for transfer if taken for credit in a course category comparable to the core requirements or perspective at Barton College, under the assumption that the College recognizes the professional integrity of other post-secondary institutions which are regionally accredited. The underlying concept is that competencies and understandings developed by general education programs as a whole are more important than individual courses. Transfer credit is not given for life experience, continuing education units (CEU’s), or courses taken at non-regionally accredited institutions. All quarter credit transfer courses are converted to semester credits. The transfer GPA is computed using the whole letter grades; pluses and minuses are not computed. No more than 75 semester hours can be transferred to the College on work taken at a two-year institution (community college, technical institute, junior college). The College does not give credit for any D grades; however, D or F grades may be indicated on the Barton College transcript as part of the academic record. The transfer student fulfills the requirements for a multi-course perspective in the General College Core requirements if the total hours in that area are lacking only one hour. This exception does not apply in the Writing Proficiency requirement. Barton College accepts up to 75 semester hours of military coursework if such work parallels courses at the College and is recommended in the lower division baccalaureate category by the American Council of Education in its Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services.
