Q: Is there a limit to the number of credits accepted in transfer to Elizabethtown College?
A: A maximum of 64 credits may be transferred from a regionally accredited 2 year institution. An unlimited number of credits may be transferred from a regionally accredited 4-year institution. However, only those credits being used to fulfill graduation requirements are posted to the transcript.
Q: When will I find out which of my credits are transferable to Elizabethtown College?
A: An official evaluation of your transfer credits will be done upon acceptance to the College. Unofficial evaluations can be done upon request, prior to being accepted to the College.
Q: When and how do I register for classes?
A: As soon as the matriculation deposit is received by the College, a letter is sent to the student inviting him/her to pre-register. Pre-registration can be done in person, via telephone, via mail or e-mail.
Q: What if the courses I have completed were taken over five years ago?
A: Many liberal arts courses, for example General Psychology or English composition, are accepted regardless of how long ago they were completed. Education and Computer Science courses are just a few of the areas that, due to changes in methods and/or technology, might not be accepted in transfer and may need to be retaken.
Q: Do my grades and/or my GPA transfer?
A: No. Only credits transfer to Elizabethtown College. Grades for transfer courses are not posted on the permanent record card, and students begin their studies at Elizabethtown with a 0.00 GPA.
Q: If I complete an Associate's degree program at my former institution, am I guaranteed Junior status at Elizabethtown?
A: Completion of an Associate's degree does not guarantee the number of credits accepted in transfer or class standing at Elizabethtown.
Q: Is there a special orientation program for transfer students?
A: Yes, special transfer orientations are held both in August and January. The Director of Academic Advising and several peer counselors plan academic, social and recreational activities to ease the transition into the Elizabethtown College Community.
