Policies

Treatment of Transfer Credits - Transfer credits which apply to a student’s program will be included on the maximum time frame standards as explained in section II. Repayment Policy - The amount of Title IV aid that a student must repay is determined via the Federal Formula for Return of Title IV funds as specified in Section 484B of the Higher Education Act.

Exceptions to this policy will be considered on the merits of the individual case. Students who desire to earn credit for a previously audited course must re-enroll in the course for credit and pay normal tuition to earn a grade other than “X.” Advanced standing credit should not be awarded for a previously audited course. Transfer Credit Provided certain criteria are met, the college routinely accepts credit from similarly accredited institutions. Transfer credit evaluations are based on official transcripts from the previous institutions. Students with a minimum of 20 semester hours of transferred credit from a four-year college or university may be exempt from SDV 100 . Students with educational credentials from foreign countries who wish to receive transfer credit for any of that work must have a credit evaluation provided to the admissions office from a college-approved foreign credential evaluation service (see Admission Procedures ). The student must absorb all costs. Course credit may be granted for completion of proficiency exams including but not limited to College Level Examination Program (CLEP), DANTES Subject Standardized Test (DSST) of the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES), Excelsior Credit by Exam (ECE), the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB), Advanced Placement (AP) program, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. Credit by examination is an internal method of achieving advanced standing in a course through satisfactorily demonstrating mastery of a course’s objectives by means of either a comprehensive examination and/or a summative assignment administered by the college. If approved, students must pay $50 prior to testing or submission of the assignment for every course for which credit by examination is undertaken. Credit for training provided by non-collegiate institutions and for professional certification will be considered on an individual basis. Students who have successfully completed the Certified Professional Secretary (CPS) or the Professional Legal Secretary (PLS) exams may be awarded credit for certain related courses in appropriate programs subject to current statewide articulations. Students who have completed the Virginia State Police Academy Basic Course, or the Law Enforcement Officers, Corrections Officers, or Jailers programs certified by the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services may be awarded credit for certain related courses in appropriate programs subject to current statewide articulations.

Attempted credits from all enrollment periods at P&HCC plus all accepted transfer credits are counted; whether or not the student received financial aid for those terms is of no consequence. Transfer Students: Credits officially accepted in transfer will be counted in determining the maximum number of allowable semester credit hours for financial aid eligibility. Transfer credits are excluded.

Usually, a student transferring from another college who is eligible for return to the last college will be eligible for admission to P&HCC. If possible, transfer credits will be evaluated to determine the student’s standing before registering for classes, but not before ALL transcripts are received. Transfer Credit posted to your Patrick & Henry Community College transcript becomes a part of your permanent academic record. As part of your permanent academic record, transfer credit will not be removed for any reason unless credit is posted erroneously.
