Course work taken at another college and accepted for transfer by 91ÁÔÆæ need not be applicable to a student\u2019s major. In general, transfer credit is awarded when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Earned at a school accredited by a regional accrediting association;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A grade of C- or higher is earned;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Course content is similar to the corresponding course at 91ÁÔÆæ<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The course completes requirements in the major, general education, or elective areas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Although a course may be transferable, it may not necessarily apply to all majors, programs, or degrees. New students should contact the Office of Admissions and returning students should contact their academic department chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>91ÁÔÆæs may earn up to 75% of degree requirements through transfer credit. Within that 75%, a maximum of 76 hours may be transferred from a 2-year institution.&nbsp; For students with an earned associate\u2019s degree (AA or AS) from a public South Carolina Technical College or an accredited community college, the Citadel will award a minimum of 60 credit hours in transfer and will be given junior status but this will not impact a student\u2019s Cadet class status. This is determined by the number of years in the Corps of Cadets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Courses transferred from another college will not be noted in the student\u2019s grade-point average at 91ÁÔÆæ. Transcripts sent from other colleges to 91ÁÔÆæ become the property of 91ÁÔÆæ and cannot be issued to the student or a third party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Considerations When Transferring Courses Back to 91ÁÔÆæ:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>91ÁÔÆæs who are not maintaining the minimum cumulative GPA for continuance must take coursework at 91ÁÔÆæ. See current catalog for GPA requirements.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>When selecting another college\/university, make sure you know whether it is on a semester or quarter hour system. One-quarter hour does not equal one semester hour.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Courses graded on a Pass\/Fail basis (typically identified as a grade of &#8220;P&#8221; or &#8220;F&#8221; on a transcript) will only be considered if the institution where the courses were completed indicates in their published grade scale that a &#8220;Pass&#8221; or grade &#8220;P&#8221; is equivalent to a grade of &#8220;C-&#8221; or better.&nbsp;<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Credit hour value of transfer courses must be equal to or greater than 91ÁÔÆæ course for which substitution is sought; however, credits transferred will not exceed those of 91ÁÔÆæ equivalent.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Courses previously passed at 91ÁÔÆæ are not acceptable for transfer.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Permission to take approved course(s) does not waive residency requirements at 91ÁÔÆæ.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>No more than four courses&nbsp;and their associated labs totaling not more than 14 credit hours (2 courses each summer term) may be transferred for summer sessions. No more than one course totaling three credit hours may be transferred during Maymester. Any exception to the number of hours that may be earned during a summer session or to the total number of hours that may be earned during summer school must be approved by the Associate Provost for Academic Affairs.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>91ÁÔÆæ will&nbsp;accept no transfer credits earned while a student is on academic or conduct discharge or while conduct charges are pending.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Not all courses count as transfer credit. For instance, CEU&#8217;s or what is known as Continuing Education Units, Remedial Course credits, and Credit-by-exam earned at other institutions are not generally counted as transfer credit.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>You must request that an official transcript from the other college\/university be sent directly to 91ÁÔÆæ Registrar&#8217;s Office.
