Transfer Credit Policies

Important policies to know:

• A course from other institution is eligible for transfer credit when the course is earned at a school accredited by a regional accreditation association, graded at least a "C" (2.0 on a 4.0 scale), and not a duplication of credits already earned.
• Grades do not transfer, only credits; therefore, transfer students will enter the College of Charleston without a grade point average (GPA).
• Credits awarded at another institution as a result of placement testing are not acceptable.
• Credit is not awarded for life experience, work experience gained prior to admission, and/or non-credit bearing coursework completed toward a professional certificate.
• Students admitted or readmitted Fall 2016 forward can transfer a maximum of ninety (90) credit hours, including all credits earned by examination (e.g., AP, and IB) towards the requirements of a College of Charleston A.B., B.A., or B.S. degree.
• For students admitted or readmitted prior to fall 2020, the maximum number of credit hours earned and applied to the requirements of a College of Charleston bachelor's degree (A.B., B.A., B.S., B.P.S.) from a two-year institution is sixty (60) credit hours. For students admitted or readmitted fall 2020 forward, the maximum number of transfer hours earned at a two-year institution that may be applied to the requirements for all College of Charleston bachelor’s degrees is sixty-six (66) credit hours.

Transferology

If you're thinking about transferring to the College of Charleston, you can easily identify how previously taken coursework will transfer to the College. While the College's Transfer Equivalency Database is ideal for showing course equivalencies for schools with which we have transfer articulation agreements, Transferology includes many more institutions and courses.  Using Transferology is as simple as creating a free account, entering your courses, and seeing how your credits will transfer.
