Military Transfer Credits Q: Can I get credit for my military training and experience at South University? A: South University awards transfer credit for eligible and appropriate learning acquired in military service at levels consistent with the American Council on Education (ACE) Guide recommendations. The university utilizes Joint Services Transcript (JST) or Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) Transcript to process prior learning experiences for possible transfer credit. CLEP and DSST exam results are also accepted for course credit evaluation. Q: What is the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) and how can it help military students? A: The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) helps military students earn credit for what they have learned from the military and life experience. Students can learn more or schedule an exam through the CLEP website. Q: What are DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST) and how do they benefit military students? A: The DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST) are college-level exams through which military students can receive college credit for prior knowledge in particular subject areas. A complete listing of these exams can be found at the testing services office or DSST website. Q: How can I request a Joint Services Transcript (JST)? A: Most military training courses have been evaluated for academic credit by the American Council on Education (ACE). South University relies on this information to assess learning acquired during military service. The JST provides a uniform transcript of all military training and experiences for service members of all branches except the Air Force. South University evaluates the JST to determine if college-level credit can be awarded for prior learning. To request your official JST, visit jst.doded.mil/jst/. Q: How can I request a Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) Transcript? A: Unlike the military branches that use the JST, all education earned while in the Air Force is captured by the Community College of the Air Force. The transcripts available reflect your Air Force training, education, and experience. South University uses the American Council on Education (ACE) Guide recommendations to assess and award applicable transfer credit based on your official CCAF transcript. To request your CCAF transcript, visit the website for the Office of the Registrar at Air University. Please note that CCAF transcript requests may take up to 60 days to process. Q: Where can I find more information about South University's transfer of credit policy? A: South University's transfer of credit policy can be reviewed in the university catalog and found on the Student Consumer Information page. To find out more about transferring credits, contact your South University location to speak with the school registrar.

All transfer credit evaluation is conducted by programmatic leadership, including Program Directors, Chairs, Assistant/Associate Deans, and/or Deans.

Transfer of Credit Policy All coursework will be evaluated for transferability based on its current relevance. South University requires that prior coursework taken by the transfer student or transfer credit required for review be taken at an acceptable accredited collegiate institution (regional or national accrediting agency recognized by the US Department of Education). See note below. South University may place limits on the age of courses eligible for transfer of credit as defined in course TOC time limits outlined below under Science Course Transfer Credit. All credit considered for acceptance is reviewed by course level, course title and course description. Students may be required to provide additional supporting documentation such as a course description or a syllabus for a class to be considered for Transfer of Credit. South University reserves the right to reject any or all credits from other institutions, regardless of their accreditation status, when it determines through investigation or otherwise that the quality of instruction at such institution is for any reason deficient or unsatisfactory. The judgment of South University on this question shall be final. South University reserves the right to disallow transfer credit for courses if the student's subsequent grades in required courses in the same subject fall below average.

In the case of courses evaluated for General Education transfer credit, the submitted courses must meet the criteria established by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools for General Education credit (as stated in the current Principles of Accreditation) and must also be specifically classified as General Education (i.e., a survey or introductory course) at the transferring institution. In programs where a free elective pool is available to fulfill Foundational Requirements or Major Requirements, students may transfer any course into that area as long as it was taken at an acceptable accredited college institution and carries a grade of “C-” or better. Undergraduate transfer credit may also be accepted in the following cases: When multiple courses taken at other institutions can be combined to satisfy one more equivalent South University courses. No course may be counted more than once, except in situations where a course has a corequisite attached to it and the number of combined credits is equivalent to the credits of the corequisites (i.e., Anatomy and Physiology I and Anatomy and Physiology I Lab, Anatomy and Physiology II and Anatomy and Physiology II Lab, Microbiology and Microbiology Lab). When a South University program does not specify a particular course for an area requirement, transfer credit may be considered as an elective if it is related in content to the area requirement. When a course from another institution is directly related to the required course but is at a higher course level. When coursework is taken as part of a diploma, certificate, or terminal associate degree from an acceptable accredited collegiate institution and carries a grade of “C- or better. In some cases, a student may submit coursework to South University in a related discipline that may substitute for the required courses of the South University program. Course substitutions must be recommended by the appropriate Program Director or Department Chair, or designee, and approved by the Department Chair, Assistant/Associate Dean, or designee, and follow the Course Substitution Policy as outlined in the Academic Catalog. Course substitution requests for General Education courses are reviewed by the General Education Program Director or Department Chair, or designee. Acceptance of credits earned at other institutions, and/or through examination, is limited to 75 percent of the total hours required for an undergraduate degree. Students residing in Virginia may only transfer in 70 percent of the total credit hours required for an undergraduate degree. No more than half the major area course requirements can be earned through transfer credit, through examination, and/or other means described in this catalog. Note that programmatic accreditation and/or specific state requirements may alter these percentages. See the appropriate program section for specific guidelines regarding transfer of credit. No transfer of credit will be accepted for internship courses. No transfer credit is accepted in the professional phase of many of the health professions. These limits are outlined below by program transfer of credit policies. No transfer credit will be granted for English as a Second Language (ESL) coursework.

What Are Transfer Credits? Transfer credits are college credits earned at one institution that may be accepted by another institution toward a degree program. Instead of starting from the beginning, you may be able to apply previously completed coursework to meet certain degree requirements. Not every course will transfer, and every institution has its own policies for transfer credit. That's why an official transfer credit evaluation is an important step in college admissions. Transfer of credit is always awarded at the discretion of the receiving institution.

Every transfer credit evaluation is unique, but schools often consider the factors below. Accreditation: The accreditation of the institution where you completed your past coursework can influence whether it is transferred to your new school. Grades: Some institutions require students to have a minimum grade in a course before it can transfer.

Many types of students may be eligible to transfer credits. You may be eligible if you are: Transferring from another college or university Going back to school after taking time away Changing majors or career paths A community college grad pursuing a bachelor's degree Someone who attended multiple colleges A military student or family member with previous college or military coursework

An institution on SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE RESTRICTION initiating a program requiring students to possess prior learning as a condition of admission requires SACSCOC approval prior to implementation; notification is not an option (see also Program Designed for Prior Learning – Approval). A description of the prior learning required as a condition of admission. A description of how the institution will assess prior learning, award credit, if applicable, for prior learning, establish the validity of its prior learning assessment, how faculty participate in the assessment of prior learning, how the faculty involved in the assessment of prior learning are qualified in the disciplines in which credit for prior learning is awarded, and how the institution, with faculty involvement, periodically assesses third parties on which it relies for prior learning assessment, if applicable.
