To ensure proper processing of academic credits, all official score reports must be sent directly from the testing agency to the Maryville College Registrar. Students may prepare for credit by examination in a variety of ways but may not use the course audit option for this purpose, as credit by examination is not available for courses audited at Maryville College. Some of the exams listed here duplicate each other in subject matter. If the student does duplicate an exam with another exam of the same subject content, and/or an exam with a college course, we will award credit only once.

Education Abroad Transfer Credit and Grades The Center for Global Engagement facilitates the pre-approval process for all education abroad programs and coursework. Credits earned through Maryville College approved semester and summer education abroad programs will appear on the Maryville College transcript as transfer credit, and grades earned will be calculated into the Maryville College GPA according to internationally recognized guidelines. Transfer credits earned through non-affiliated education abroad programs will appear on the Maryville College transcript, but grades will not calculate into the Maryville College GPA. If approved, Culture/Intercultural Domain credit in the Core curriculum may be earned for Maryville College approved programs of at least 6 weeks duration. Study abroad programs that are three or more weeks in duration may be used for a students’ significant practical experience (SPE) associated with the Maryville College Works program when pre-approved for this purpose. Maryville College is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools’ Commission on Colleges to award Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees. The College’s partner institutions are not accredited by the Commission on Colleges, and the accreditation of Maryville College does not extend to nor include the partner institutions or their students. Although Maryville College accepts certain coursework from the partner institutions as transfer credit towards its degrees, or collaborates in other ways for generation of course credits or program credentials, other colleges and universities may or may not accept this work in transfer; even if it appears on a transcript from the partner institutions. This decision is made by the institution subsequently considering acceptance of such credits. 800.597.2687 Facebook Opens a new window Instagram Opens a new window Youtube Opens a new window Linkedin Opens a new window Majors & Programs Net Price Calculator Schedule a Tour Apply Today A-Z Index Academic Resources Alumni Campus Store Calendars & Events Directory Distinctives Human Resources Lamar Library News & Publications Rankings & Recognitions Speakers & Experts
