In the context of educational progression within the current academic program, if students want to transfer to Aquinas College, students may be eligible to apply for a Transfer of Credit under specific conditions. This provision facilitates the recognition of prior learning that is equivalent or analogous to the courses offered in the program in which the students are enrolled.
A maximum of 30% of the total courses within the current program may be considered for transfer. This limitation ensures that the majority of the program’s coursework is completed within the institution, maintaining the integrity and unique pedagogical objectives of the program.
To initiate the process of credit transfer, students must provide the Original Official Transcript of Record accompanied by the relevant course syllabus. These documents provide evidence of the content, learning outcomes, and assessment criteria of the previously completed course, enabling an accurate evaluation of equivalency.
To qualify for a Transfer of Credit, the grade attained in the course under consideration must be no lower than 85. This threshold reflects the institution’s commitment to upholding rigorous academic standards and ensures that the transferred credit aligns with the quality expectations of the current program.
The Transfer of Credit policy underscores the institution’s dedication to recognizing previous academic achievements while maintaining the quality and coherence of its programs. It also provides a structured pathway for students to integrate prior learning into their current educational trajectory, thus fostering continuity and efficiency in their academic development.
