We recognize that one of the most important concerns of a transfer applicant is how many credits will transfer into one’s program of study at Trinity.\u00a0 During the review of a transfer application for admission, we conduct a transfer credit evaluation to determine a candidate\u2019s standing and total number of transferable credits heading into Trinity. Please review the guidelines below.<\/p>\n
What\u00a0type of courses are accepted?<\/strong> How many credits will Trinity accept?<\/strong> How do Trinity’s course credits equate to credits at other schools?<\/strong> For schools using the quarter hour system, 5 quarter hours equal 1.0 Trinity course credit, 4 quarter hours equal .75 Trinity course credit, and 3 quarter hours equal .50 Trinity course credit. What is the evaluation process?<\/strong> Students may not enroll in courses at Trinity that duplicate transferred courses.\u00a0 Students may not enroll in lower level courses in mathematics and languages at Trinity if higher level courses in the same discipline have been transferred.<\/p>\n The transfer of online courses is not permitted.\u00a0 If a course has been transferred and it is later determined that the course was taken online, transfer credit for that course will be removed.<\/p>\n Specific regulations governing the transfer of credit to Trinity are outlined in the Trinity College Bulletin<\/a>, or may be found\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We recognize that one of the most important concerns of a transfer applicant is how many credits will transfer into one’s program of study at Trinity.\u00a0 During the review of a transfer application for admission, we conduct a transfer credit evaluation to determine a candidate\u2019s standing and total number of transferable credits heading into Trinity.

\nTrinity College accepts transfer credit from accredited U.S. institutions of higher education and liberal arts universities of other countries, which are recognized by their appropriate national educational authorities.\u00a0 To be accepted for transfer credit, course work must parallel Trinity\u2019s own course offerings and\/or be from the liberal arts.\u00a0 Examples of non-liberal arts courses include, but are not limited to: business, management, marketing, advertising, public relations, crafts, public speaking, cooking, interior decorating, fashion design, and professionally-oriented courses in law and medicine.\u00a0 Examples of other courses that are not transferable to the College include: English as a Second Language, credit by examination, CLEP (College Level Examination Program) credit, internships without sufficient academic component, ROTC courses, military courses, and correspondence courses.<\/p>\n
\nA total of 17.5 course credits may be accepted for pre-matriculation transfer credit.\u00a0 Trinity will accept up to 9.0 course credits for an academic year of study, up to 5.0 course credits for one semester, or up to 4.0 course credits for each summer semester. Credit is transferred on a course-by-course basis. A grade of at least C- must be earned for each course for which transfer credit is desired.\u00a0 Courses with grades of \u201cP,\u201d\u00a0 \u201cPass,\u201d \u201cS,\u201d or \u201cSatisfactory\u201d must be certified by the school as equal to at least a C- in order for the course to transfer.<\/p>\n
\nA course earning 3 – 4 semester hours at another school is equivalent to 1 .0 Trinity course credit (science courses offered for 4 semester hours with full laboratories will transfer as 1.25 course credits, and those offered for 3 semester hours will transfer as 1 course credit ), a 2 semester hour course is equivalent to .50 Trinity course credit, and a 1 semester hour course is equivalent to .25 Trinity course credit.<\/p>\n

\nHow can my credits be applied to my Trinity degree?<\/strong>
\nTransfer courses may meet some or all of the General Education requirements.\u00a0 If so, students will be notified at the time transfer credit is posted which General Education requirements have been met.\u00a0 Students should discuss with their major Department Chairperson or Program Director the possibility of transfer courses being applied towards the major or minor.\u00a0 Please note that once a student has matriculated to Trinity, no more than 2 General Education requirements may be fulfilled by transfer credits.<\/p>\n
\nTransfer credit will be posted to the student\u2019s record at Trinity upon receipt of a final official transcript.\u00a0 Transcripts from universities located in countries other than the U.S. must be evaluated by an international credential evaluation service (such as Educational Credential Evaluators in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.) in order to determine courses eligible for transfer and applicable credit.<\/p>\n
