Dickinson Academic Bulletin | 31 CREDIT FOR COURSE WORK AT OTHER INSTITUTIONS Course work submitted by transfer students is evaluated by the Associate Registrar after a preliminary and tentative appraisal has been performed by the admissions counselor. A maximum of 16 courses may be accepted for transfer. These students are allowed to bring in additional transfer credit (past the 16) as long as it is part of an approved Dickinson study abroad/study away semester and therefore will not affect the residency requirement. Students on an approved leave of absence may take a maximum of two preapproved courses per term for transfer back to Dickinson.

(Exceptions: Courses taken at a Central Pennsylvania Consortium College during a fall/spring semester.) Transfer credit counts as both attempted and completed credits.
