| Satisfactory Academic Progress | transfer_credit | Scheduling for Continuing Students Service Quality Assurance Transfer of Credit and Prior Learning Assessment Withdrawal Grading Policies Herzing University uses the grading system outlined below. Program Progression and Transfer Students who are dismissed from the program for failing to meet the minimum grade requirements in general education courses, but who otherwise meet University academic standards, may be eligible to transfer to another Herzing University degree program. Minimum Passing Grade for Dual Credit Courses (Master of Science in Nursing) Undergraduate students enrolled in graduate-level dual credit courses for the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program must meet the following requirements: A grade of 76% or higher is required to pass the course for Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program purposes A grade of 80% or higher is required for the course to be eligible for transfer into the MSN program Incomplete Grade A grade of Incomplete (I) will be given to a student only in cases where the student is not able to complete the work for a course due to extenuating circumstances.

| Transfer of Credit and Prior Learning Assessment | prior_learning | Transfer of Credit and Prior Learning Assessment Transfer of Credit from Other Colleges or Universities Applicants desiring to transfer credit to Herzing University for courses taken at other colleges or universities must have official transcripts sent to Herzing University from those colleges/universities. For new students, this is typically done during the admission process prior to the beginning of the first term of enrollment but should be completed by the end of the first eight weeks of enrollment or re-enrollment. Students reentering or re-enrolling after a break in attendance with Herzing University who wish to have courses taken during the break evaluated for transfer should submit their official transcripts prior to the end of the first eight weeks of reentry or re-enrollment. The decision on whether to accept transfer credit is entirely at the discretion of Herzing University as the receiving college/university. In deciding whether to accept transfer credit for college or university course taken elsewhere, Herzing will consider the following: The course for which credit is being sought must have been taken at an accredited college or university recognized by the United States Department of Education or a foreign college or university that is equivalent to an accredited U.S. post-secondary institution. The course must be comparable to the course at Herzing University for which transfer credits are being sought. The student must have earned a grade of at least a “C” or better in the course unless specific course requirements call for a higher grade. Examples include but are not limited to courses within the nursing program. In addition to the grade received, the length of time since the course was taken may be considered in certain course areas, to ensure that the content is still applicable. The proper authorities at Herzing University must receive the official transcript directly from the other institution. A catalog or official description of the course from the previous college/university may also be required. Transfer of Credit for Nursing Students The following are special requirements for transfer of credit for students enrolled in nursing programs: Students may transfer in non-clinical/non-lab nursing courses that were taken in the last 5 years at an *accredited institution, in which the student earned a “C” or better in the course. Credit for lab-based courses may be considered providing the student was enrolled in the previous nursing program within the last year (last date of attendance at the institutions is ≤ 365 days) and the student successfully completes a test-out of the lab component. (Note: test-out fees will be waived in these instances) All general education courses, incl’uding healthcare sciences will follow the standard transfer credit policy of requiring a “C” or better from an *accredited institution. There are no timeframe restrictions on general education courses. Exception: SC 154 Anatomy and Physiology I for Nurses and SC 254 Anatomy and Physiology II for Nurses require a “B” grade or better for nursing programs at all locations. The Atlanta location requires a “B” or better for nursing science courses and requires that the science course was taken within the last 5 years. Clinical-based courses and the NCLEX Review course may not be considered for transfer credit. Students will receive block credit for advanced entry point for certain programs based on licensure. Transfer of Credit for Social Work Students Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) program may transfer credits for field education and/or practice courses only from institutions with CSWE accredited or candidate-status social work programs. All transfer credit requests must be reviewed and approved by the BSW Program Chair and the Director of Campus Operations/Academic Dean of Online Learning (or designee). Please refer to the Prior Learning Assessment section below for important information specific to social work students. Prior Learning Assessment Herzing University is committed to recognizing and awarding the maximum possible credit for students’ prior learning. There are four pathways through which students may earn prior learning credit at Herzing University: Standardized advanced placement testing Military or industry training and learning experiences evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE) Work/life experience evaluated by Herzing University or the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) Proficiency examinations administered through Herzing University. Note: The program does not grant social work course credit for life experience or previous work experience. Award of Credit through Advanced Placement Testing Herzing University will accept credit for any applicable nationally recognized advanced placement testing. These include the following: Advanced Placement (AP) from the College Board. (See www.apcentral.collegeboard.com for more information.) DANTES Subject Standardized Test (DSST) from Defense Activity for Non-traditional Education Support (DANTES). (See www.getcollegecredit.com for more information.) College Level Examination Program (CLEP) from the College Board. (See https://www.clep.collegeboard.org for more information.) Award of Credit for Military or Industry Courses or Certification Tests Evaluated by ACE Herzing University considers the recommendations made by the American Council on Education (ACE) when awarding credit for military and industry courses and tests that have been previously evaluated by ACE. For example, many military courses in the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps have been evaluated for college credit by ACE, as documented on a Joint Service Transcript (JST). (Air Force training courses are included on a transcript as college courses by the Community College of the Air Force). For more information on credit recommendations for military courses, see www.acenet.edu/militaryguide . Similarly, many private companies have had their training courses or certification tests evaluated for award of college credit by ACE. For instance, StraighterLine offers many general education and other courses that fit in many Herzing programs that have been evaluated for college credit by ACE. (See www.straighterline.com .) Also, Microsoft and other information technology companies have had their certification tests evaluated. For more information on credit recommendations for industry courses and tests, see http://www2.acenet.edu/credit/ . Award of Credit through Proficiency Examinations 1. Purpose This policy establishes guidelines for students seeking to earn credit through Herzing University developed proficiency examinations. The intent is to recognize and validate prior learning and competencies that satisfy course learning objectives. 2. Scope This policy applies to all undergraduate students enrolled at Herzing University who wish to demonstrate proficiency in a course subject through examination in lieu of formal course enrollment. 3. Policy Statement Students may earn credit for select courses by successfully completing a Herzing University developed proficiency examination that demonstrates mastery of the course learning objectives. Proficiency examinations are not intended to replace traditional coursework for all students but provide an alternative path for those with prior knowledge or experience in the subject area. Master of Science in Nursing – Direct Entry Program follows the same policies as all other pre-licensure nursing programs. Please note that not all courses are eligible for proficiency examination. Eligibility is determined based on course content, academic policy, and program requirements 4. Eligibility To be eligible to attempt a proficiency examination, students must: Be currently enrolled or admitted to Herzing University. Not have previously attempted, failed, or withdrawn from the course for which they are seeking proficiency credit.Not have been registered an attending a course for which they request a proficiency examination beyond week one. Not have previously attempted a proficiency examination for the same course. Meet any prerequisites or eligibility requirements established by the department offering the examination. 5 . Proficiency Examination Guidelines Proficiency examinations may take the form of written, oral, practical, or performance-based assessments, depending on the nature of the course. The academic department responsible for the course will determine examination format, content, grading criteria, and scheduling. A non-refundable administrative fee may be charged for each proficiency examination attempt. Fees must be paid prior to examination administration. A minimum passing score (as determined by the academic department) must be achieved in order to earn credit. No letter grade is awarded; credit is recorded as “EX” (Credit) on the transcript and is not included in GPA calculations. 6. Credit Limitation Credit earned through proficiency exams does not count toward the University’s residency requirement. Herzing University students must earn a minimum of 25% of the credit hours associated with their program of study from Herzing University. Credits awarded for successful completion of a proficiency examination do not contribute to the 25% residency requirement. No more than 30 undergraduate semester credit hours may be earned via proficiency examinations at the undergraduate level. Proficiency credit may not be earned at the graduate level. Credit awarded by proficiency examination may not transfer to other institutions and may not be accepted toward graduate-level degree requirements. Master of Science in Nursing – Direct Entry Program follows the same policies as all other pre-licensure nursing programs. 7. Appeals and Exceptions Appeals related to proficiency examination outcomes or eligibility must be submitted in writing the Chief Academic Officer’s designee within 15 calendar days of the examination result notification. Exceptions to this policy may be granted only with the approval of the Chief Academic Officer or designee. 8. Responsibilities Students are responsible for reviewing course descriptions and objectives, as well as requesting proficiency examinations through the appropriate academic department. Academic departments are responsible for developing, administering, and evaluating proficiency examinations. The Registrar’s Office will record approved credit on student transcripts upon notification from the appropriate academic department. Award of Credit through Work/Life Experience Students who believe they have had significant work/life experience that will translate into college credit may submit a portfolio of relevant work/life experience for review. The portfolio will need to include documentation and demonstration of prior knowledge is accumulated through life, work and/or community experiences in a portfolio format, through which experiential/proficiency credit may be earned. Students will receive credit for the course(s) associated with the portfolios developed that are determined to demonstrate college-level learning. The course(s) will be listed as “EX” on the student’s transcript. Experiential/proficiency credit is not included in the grade point average (GPA) calculation. Limitations A minimum of twenty-five percent of the program requirements must be taken in residence for most undergraduate students, including active-duty service members. Academic residency can be completed at any time for active duty service members, including Reservist and National Guardsmen on active duty. Atlanta Location Only Bachelor of Science in Legal Studies – A minimum of 27 semester credit hours in legal specialty credits (PL) must be taken in residence. Transfer of Credits to Other Colleges and Universities The decision to accept transfer credit from Herzing University is entirely at the discretion of the receiving institution. Students should check with a school to which they desire to transfer to regarding in order to obtain an assessment from that school of whether the credits they earned at Herzing may be accepted for transfer. In the absence of an articulation agreement between Herzing University and another institution, no one at Herzing University can represent that specific credits will transfer or that another institution will accept Herzing credits. A list of the institutions with which Herzing University has articulation agreements is available from the administrative office of the University and on the Herzing Website at https://www.herzing.edu/get-credit-you-deserve/articulation-agreements . | May 2026 Undergraduate Catalog | catalog.herzing.edu |
