Repeating a Coursetransfer_creditIf a student repeats a course at another institution in order to receive transfer credit, the previous Washington and Lee grade will not change and will remain in the student’s Washington and Lee grade-point average.2026-2027catalog.wlu.edu
Requests for Transfer Credit by First-Year Studentstransfer_creditRequests for Transfer Credit by First-Year Students Only work comparable to that at Washington and Lee in level, nature, and field may be accepted for degree credit. First-year students who wish to be awarded credit at Washington and Lee for courses previously taken at another college or university accredited by one of the six regional accrediting agencies of the United States or an approved international institution should obtain a Credit Transfer Form online at go.wlu.edu/forms and return it with the requested information (course description and syllabus, official college transcript, information on instructor, location, and texts). Credits for courses completed at another institution with a grade of C (2.0) or higher may be transferred to Washington and Lee and used as degree credit. Grades for these courses will not be transferred, and a student’s cumulative grade-point average will include only work attempted at Washington and Lee. Requests and transcripts received by August 15 will be processed in time for new students’ registration for fall term. These courses are often prerequisites for work new students plan to undertake in their first term, so it is important to have the records sent as soon as possible. No college credit will be awarded if it has been used to meet one of Washington and Lee’s entrance requirements or if the transcript or syllabus arrive after the last class day of the student’s first term of enrollment at Washington and Lee.2026-2027catalog.wlu.edu

Transfer of Credittransfer_creditTransfer of Credit Only work comparable to that at Washington and Lee in level, nature, and field may be accepted for degree credit. Credits for courses completed at another college or university accredited by one of the six regional accrediting agencies of the United States or an approved international institution, with a grade of C (2.0) or higher, as indicated by an official transcript received by the Office of the University Registrar, may be considered for transfer to Washington and Lee to be used as degree credit. Grades for these courses, however, will not be transferred, and a student’s cumulative grade-point average will include only work attempted at Washington and Lee. W&L does not award more credit for a course or program than that awarded by the host institution, as determined by the host’s official transcript. For courses taken online, no credit will be awarded if the work was begun prior to initial matriculation at Washington and Lee. Up to two courses (6-8 credits) taken online after matriculation may be used for degree requirements only with the permission of the department or program head in the appropriate discipline or, if the discipline is not represented at Washington and Lee, from the appropriate Associate Dean of The College. A student admitted as a transfer may receive no more than 60 credits for work transferred. Such credits are assigned by the appropriate department or program head (or designee) and the University Registrar at the discretion of the appropriate dean. Transfer students must complete at least six terms of full-time study at Washington and Lee prior to receiving a degree. ( See Residency Requirement )2026-2027catalog.wlu.edu

Transfer Summer Credittransfer_creditNo matter when approval is requested, students must submit applications for approval on the Application for Degree Credit for Off-Campus Study form, obtainable from the University Registrar’s office or website at go .wlu.edu/forms . A maximum of five courses, not to exceed 15 credits of transfer summer credit may be offered toward all major, minor, degree requirements.

W&L Semester and Summer Study Abroad Policiestransfer_creditFirst-year incoming credits, transfer credits, courses taken abroad, etc., will not count in the 60 credits to be taken at W&L. Winter term abroad - October 15 Mansfield College Oxford Program - January 23 Fall term abroad - March 1 Summer term abroad - April 1 Course Approval: To ensure the transfer of credits, students are required to seek approval in advance from the appropriate department head or departmental designee (or academic dean when there is no similar W&L course) for all courses to be attempted while abroad. Those credits approved as non-equivalent elective credits may be applied to major requirements with permission of the department head. c. Grade: Credits will be awarded only if a grade equivalent to a C (2.0) or better is received. The actual grade on an abroad course is not transferred to the student’s W&L record and therefore does not affect the W&L cumulative grade-point average. Financial Aid for Study Abroad: Financial Aid awards may be transferred to help cover the costs of approved study abroad for fall term, winter term, or academic year. Students should have a zero or positive balance on account at the time funds are transferred.2026-2027catalog.wlu.edu
