Transfer Credits

Students may receive transfer credits for courses similar to those offered at Albertus Magnus College provided that:

1. The courses are from a nationally or regionally accredited institution approved by the U.S. Department of Education (USDE) or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).

3. The courses were completed with a Pass grade (P) that can be documented as being equivalent to a 2.0 or better.
4. Undergraduate applicants must have official transcripts for all previously attended colleges or universities sent Admissions. After students are matriculated, the Registrar evaluates their transcripts to determine which courses may transfer and whether transferable courses may be applied toward required or elective courses in the student’s program of study. Students meet with their academic advisor to review the transfer evaluation.
