Courses taken at other regionally accredited U.S. institutions or approved international institutions will be accepted in transfer provided that these courses are in subjects generally recognized as appropriate for liberal arts colleges and are either comparable to courses offered at Randolph-Macon or are applicable to a degree program at Randolph-Macon. To guarantee transfer credit, these courses must be approved by the appropriate department chair and the registrar prior to enrollment in the course. All work will be evaluated without prejudice as to method of delivery. Courses accepted in transfer will receive credit but will not count in the calculation of the Randolph-Macon GPA. Only courses which have been passed with the grade of C- or higher will be accepted in transfer. Any transfer course counting on a major or minor is calculated into the major or minor GPA. At least one-half of the semester hours of the major or minor must be taken at Randolph-Macon. If credit was earned at a U.S. institution accredited by a non-regional accrediting body, the institution will be reviewed for potential credit transfer. Interested students should contact the registrar.
A department may recommend that a course passed with a D be accepted to satisfy a collegiate requirement. However, in such a case, no credit will be awarded at Randolph-Macon College.
A student may receive a maximum of 75 semester hours through transfer work from two-year and four-year institutions and/or credit-by-examination (e.g. Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate).
Applicants for admission who have attended one or more other colleges must have a minimum GPA of 2.00 on all previous college work undertaken. They must be eligible to return to their current (or last attended) institution at the time they enroll at Randolph-Macon. Any exception to these regulations must be approved by the Committee on Academic Policies.
