Policies

Students who request to transfer credits from previously attended institutions are required to submit official transcripts to the Registrar’s Office via electronic submission, or sealed official transcripts to the campus designee, no later than the Friday prior to the first day of class. Academic credit will be evaluated by the College for courses appearing on an official transcript from a school, college, or university accredited by an agency recognized by the US Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) with a minimum grade of ‘C’, or as outlined in specific program policies relating to transfer credit. Students are required to either submit official transcripts on or before the Friday prior to their start date or waive their option to bring in transfer credits. Students must then submit new official transcripts within 30 days of course completion to receive transfer credit for the IP course. Students who fail to submit official transcripts prior to the final day of the first term/semester may be denied transfer credit. Transfer credit based on a different unit of credit than the one prescribed by the College is subject to conversion before being transferred. Transfer credit for paired courses must meet the requirements for both courses.

Course incompletes, withdrawals, repetitions and/or transfers of credit from other institutions affect a student’s maximum timeframe, CGPA and/or ROP as follows: The College does not award incomplete grades. Transfer credits have no effect on the GPA but are counted in the maximum timeframe and ROP calculations as both completed and attempted hours.

Transfer Credit: Credit hours earned at another institution and transferred to Eagle Gate College or Provo College or credit earned through College Level Examination Program (CLEP) examinations.

Credit by Exam The credit by exam policy is not applicable to diploma level students. Students may transfer credits via the following nationally recognized college-equivalency examinations:
