Policies

The courses will be indicated with a transfer credit indicator of # in lieu of the grade earned. They will be treated the same as a transfer credit and will receive a TC indicator of # in lieu of the grade earned and be counted as 10

Credit hours that were previously earned through a credit by exam will not apply. Transfer credits from other institutions will be reevaluated at time of reenrollment. Courses for which the students previously earned a grade of C or higher are treated the same as a transfer credit and will receive a TC indicator (#) for the course grade.” On rare occasions, the reevaluation procedure described above will not be advantageous to the student. Receiving transfer credits will not necessarily reduce the total length of time needed to complete a program of study. Students who have less than 50% of their credits transferred from another institution or program at Lansdale School of Business may earn additional credits through credit by exam, not to exceed 50 percent of the total credits required for their program of study. Students who opt to take a course, in which they received a transfer credit, or credit by exam credits, will not receive double credit. Students who opt to take a course even though they earned a transfer credit or credit by examination, will have the grade earned for the course taken calculated in the student’s grade point average. All credits that are transferred or earned by a credit by exam are counted as classes completed and as credits attempted. It is the student’s responsibility to provide official, sealed transcripts to the Executive Director for transfer credit consideration. Normally, transfer credits will not be awarded after the end of the student’s second semester. Students should not take a course that is scheduled for which they have requested a transfer of credit. Once they have attended the class, they can no longer receive transfer credits. Transfer of Credit from Other Institutions Lansdale School of Business considers credits for transfer from accredited business schools, colleges, and universities. Credits are considered for transfer provided the courses are similar in objectives and content to those offered at LSB and the letter grade (or equivalent) of the course is a “C” or better. Transcripts submitted to meet entrance requirements by transfer students are evaluated by the Executive Director.

Transfer credits awarded are not calculated in the student's GPA. Transfer credits are counted as credits attempted and credits earned. Transfer credits may not be earned while enrolled as an LSB student, except when special circumstances would warrant a waiver of this policy by the Executive Director. Only courses in which credit has been awarded will be considered for transfer. No courses with a pass or fail grade are eligible for transfer. • All such transfer credits will count as credits attempted and credits earned. • Any questions about transfer of credits/clock hours should be discussed with the Executive Director Transfer of Credit to Other Institutions Information regarding other schools which may accept LSB credits toward their programs can be obtained by contacting the Student Services Office. Credit by Examination Credits may be awarded to students who successfully challenge a course through a credit by exam. Credit by exam and proficiency exams must be taken during the student's first two semesters at Lansdale School of Business. Students who have received 50 percent of their credits from transfer credits are not eligible to earn additional credits through credit by exams.

These courses will be indicated with a transfer credit indicator (#) in lieu of the grade earned and they will count as credits attempted and credits earned. Transfer credits previously received from another school will not automatically count. These transfer credits will need to be reevaluated to ensure their relevance in the program of study.

An example is a proficiency exam, or a credit by exam for which the student does not want credit. # Courses Repeated and Transfer Credits are all noted with a pound (#) sign. $ Credits earned for passing a credit by exam test.

Transfer credits and credits-by-exam are not counted to determine eligibility for the Dean’s List.

Transfer credits and credits received by exam count as credits attempted and credits completed. A student who receives a transfer credit or a credit by exam and subsequently takes the course at LSB will have the grade earned for the course calculated in their GPA. • Credit by exam – a course that was successfully challenged counts towards successful course completion and credits attempted if the student elects to receive credit for the course. • Transfer credits – a course for which transfer credits were awarded count towards successful course completion and credits attempted.
