Transfer Policy
Only courses and degrees from institutions accredited by agencies recognized by the Department of Education will be evaluated for transfer credit (e.g., SACSCOC, TRACS, ABHE, etc.). Applicants must request official transcripts to be sent directly from the Registrar(s) of the previous school(s) to the Southern Wesleyan University Admissions Offices or SWU Global. These transcripts must be received before an admission decision will be made. Credits transferred from other institutions are awarded grades of P for Pass, and do not affect a student’s Southern Wesleyan University GPA or academic standing.
Course work from a degree on the same academic level previously earned through Southern Wesleyan University is considered transfer, and is subject to the same restrictions as course work completed through other institutions.
Outgoing Transfer of Credit: Transferability of credit earned through Southern Wesleyan University is at the discretion of the receiving institution.
The Dean of Online Learning and Graduate Education will determine the number of semester hours that may be transferred from other regionally accredited institutions provided the following:
The grade for the transferred course is 2.7 (B-) or greater.
The course was completed within the previous five years.
The course satisfies a specified requirements in the graduate curriculum.
