Transfer Credit (Study Abroad and Study USA) Students who follow the proper procedure and complete the course approval process before enrolling in a non-Elon program may receive transfer credit. Transfer credit is not guaranteed and is granted on a course-by-course basis to be decided by the Registrar’s Office in consultation with academic department chairs as appropriate. Courses with a grade of “C” or better are transferred and the hours earned transfer as well as the course itself.

Transfer Credit A student enrolled in the M.S. in Business Analytics dual degree program will only be permitted to transfer 15 semester hours of appropriate graduate credit from NEOMA. For transfer credits, grades earned at another graduate school the equivalent in the NEOMA grade scale of at least a “B,” (the NEOMA US Grade Equivalent Scale is shown in Table 2). No graduate credit will be allowed for excess credits completed in an undergraduate classification in any institution. No graduate credit will be allowed for correspondence courses.

Transfer Credit Newly Admitted Undergraduate Students Students earn credit for college-level courses taken through college parallel programs at regionally accredited junior or community colleges and for courses taken at regionally accredited four-year colleges and universities. Remedial courses or coursework in occupational/technical curricula typically do not transfer. Transcripts are evaluated by the University Registrar in consultation with academic department chairs as appropriate prior to enrollment at Elon. Credit is awarded on a course-by-course basis after the student has been accepted for admission. Elon accepts transfer undergraduate courses which represent collegiate coursework relevant to the degree, with course content equivalent to that offered in Elon’s undergraduate program. Credit is awarded only in areas offered within Elon's current curriculum and appropriately related to each student’s educational program. The amount of credit awarded is documented on the student’s permanent record. Elon University informs all transfer students before their enrollment about the amount of credit awarded. The first-year student course, COR 1100 Global Studies, is waived for students transferring 18 hours or more. This applies to transfer students only, not first-year students entering college for the first time. Advanced Placement credits will not count toward the 18 semester hours. Students transferring courses worth fewer than four credit hours must still meet the total semester hour requirements in the affected program area. To earn a bachelor’s degree from Elon University students must earn a minimum of 132 total semester credits. A grade of “C” or higher must be posted on the official transcript for each course in order for the credits in that course to transfer. Courses posted in an un-graded format, including but not limited to pass/fail, audit, or credit/no-credit, will not transfer. Grades do not transfer, only the credit hours will be posted to the Elon University transcript with no change to the Elon grade point average. No more than 65 semester hours of credit will be allowed from two-year institutions. Students must earn a minimum of 60 semester hours and 50% of the credit hours in the major at Elon.
