TRANSFER CREDIT
Transcripts of students transferring from another institution are evaluated
in the Registrar's Office, and the results are provided to the applicant. The
Office of Advising and Retention is notified of each applicant's transcript
evaluation. Determining the applicability of transferred credits to major requirements
is the responsibility of the Registrar's Office.
Credit may be allowed for courses that are appropriate to the curriculum in
which the student is admitted. Courses passed with a grade of D or its equivalent
are not transferable and are not used in computing a student's grade point average
except for specific courses taken in approved fourth-year cooperative programs.
All transfer credit must have been completed at a regionally accredited institution.
Transfer students are cautioned that a course, though acceptable by transfer,
may not necessarily be applicable to a specific Francis Marion major, program,
or degree. No more than 65 semester hours of credit may be accepted from institutions
accredited as junior colleges or two-year institutions.
In order to complete requirements for an undergraduate degree, a transfer student
must earn at least 36 semester hours of work in residence at Francis
Marion University (including a minimum of three courses above 299
in the student's major).
