| transfer_credit | One course taken during the period of suspension may be applied as transfer credit to F&M. All current course transfer policies through the Office of the Registrar apply, and students must receive approval for the transfer credit prior to completing the course. | 2025-2026 | www.fandm.edu | |
| transfer_credit | Transfer of Credit Policies All transfer students will be expected to adhere to all graduation requirements listed in this Catalog unless noted otherwise below. Transfer credit is only considered for college courses that are documented on an official transcript sent directly to the Registrar’s Office from the original institution. Specific courses are approved for transfer credit based on the following considerations: a. Existence of comparable courses in the Franklin & Marshall curriculum;* b. Accreditation of the institution offering the course (courses taken at institutions accredited by one of the regional accrediting commissions are generally eligible for transfer consideration); c. Intended field of concentration (including related courses); d. General Education requirements; and e. Grades earned (“C-” or better is required for courses taken prior to matriculation; “D-” or better is required for courses taken after matriculation; courses taken on a Pass/No Pass basis are generally not eligible for transfer credit). * Topics not taught at F&M may be considered for transfer credit if they are liberal arts courses. Subjects generally not approved for transfer credit include: i. Technical courses; ii. Communications courses (including oral communications); iii. Transfer of Credit Prior to Matriculation (Transfer Student) College credit earned prior to matriculation at Franklin & Marshall College is transferred on the basis of courses in which the student has earned grades of “C-” or better. The total amount of Franklin & Marshall transfer credit is determined by dividing the total semester hours of approved credit by four (the number of credit hours per course at Franklin & Marshall College). Transfer credit for graded college courses will count toward the requirement that a student must pass 21 regularly graded credits to graduate from Franklin & Marshall College. | 2025-2026 | www.fandm.edu | |
| transfer_credit | Incoming transfer students are granted Franklin & Marshall credit upon receipt of their final official transcript from their previ- ous institution. Transfer credit for college coursework is part of a student’s official education record. Once transfer credit is awarded for a course, the course cannot be removed from the student record. Transfer of Credit after Matriculation No credit may be transferred for courses taken during a fall or spring semester in which the student is enrolled at Franklin & Marshall. Transfer of credit requires approval of the appropriate department chairperson at Franklin & Marshall College before the course is taken. The amount of transfer credit awarded for a successfully completed, approved course is determined only on the basis of the fol- lowing equation: Franklin & Marshall course credits = number of semester hours divided by four, OR number of quarter hours divided by six (to the nearest .25, minimum: .25) By this formula, the following Franklin & Marshall credit equivalencies can be made for a single course: 1 semester hour = .25 F&M course credit 2 semester hours = .50 F&M course credit 3 semester hours = .75 F&M course credit 4 semester hours = 1.00 F&M course credit 1 quarter hour = no F&M credit 2 quarter hours = .25 F&M course credit 3 quarter hours = .50 F&M course credit 4 quarter hours = .75 F&M course credit 5 quarter hours = .75 F&M course credit 6 quarter hours = 1.00 F&M course credit It is important to note that while the department chairperson determines what course a student can take to transfer credit and what specific course requirement at Franklin & Marshall College will be met through taking the course (major, minor or elec- 802 | 2025-2026 | www.fandm.edu | |
| transfer_credit | tive), the chairperson cannot authorize a student to transfer credit according to any formula other than that explained above. Transfer credit for college coursework is part of a student’s official education record. Once transfer credit is awarded, it cannot be removed from the student record. Grades for Approved Transfer and Study Abroad Credit after Matriculation 1. In order to receive transfer credit, a passing grade must be earned (“D-” or above) and must be reflected on an official transcript sent directly to the Registrar’s Office from the host institution. 4. Transfer credit may not be received for a course already taken at Franklin & Marshall College. | 2025-2026 | www.fandm.edu | |
| transfer_credit | All other policies listed under “Transfer Credit Prior to Matriculation” apply. Subjects not eligible for transfer credit will be deducted from the total IB transfer award. Other course credits from countries outside of the United States are evaluated on an individual basis. | 2025-2026 | www.fandm.edu | |
| transfer_credit | Students on Leave are not permitted to take academic courses at another institution for transfer credit unless an exception is granted by the appropriate party, as detailed in the Leave of Absence Policy. | 2025-2026 | www.fandm.edu | |
