Greenwood University welcomes the transfer of course work from accredited institutions. (Some institutions include those that have been accredited by an agency that is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation or CHEA. Outside the U.S., a provincial or national authority such as the Ministry of Education usually approves some institutions.) In order to request this transfer, you should arrange for an official transcript (signed and sealed) to be mailed directly from the previous institution to University’s Registrar’s Office.
Credit is evaluated on a course-by-course basis, requiring that course descriptions and credit values be comparable. Only work earned with a grade of “C” or higher is transferable; however, grades from transfer credits do not compute into Grade Point Averages (GPA). Grade Point Averages are computed solely on courses completed at Greenwood University
Under exceptional circumstances and with the approval of the Academic Committee, transfer of credit may be possible from unaccredited institutions. The same procedures and requirements as previously noted apply. In addition, University takes steps to ensure that course work taken at the previous institution is comparable to the course work offered by University.
