Transfer Credit Policy Updated for Fall 2009

Revisions to Transfer Policy

Academic Council and Faculty Assembly approved the following addition to our existing transfer credit policy. It will be effective with the fall 2009 semester.

Students can transfer courses from accredited institutions that are judged by the Registrar and the appropriate department (in the case of courses for a major/minor) to be high quality, involve active delivery methods (ongoing exchange of ideas with an instructor), and are consistent with the mission and program goals of Elizabethtown College. For example, no online independent study or correspondence courses can be transferred.

This means that students will no longer be able to transfer courses of dubious quality from correspondence-type programs such as LSU’s Independent & Distance Learning program. Students who have already had one of these courses approved for transfer will be able to transfer it if they complete the course by the end of fall 2009 and the transcript reflects a summer or fall 2009 completion.
