Transfer of Credits from Other Institutions to Concord University


The determination of transferable credit is made by the University after review of the courses offered for transfer, and consideration of which ones have equivalent courses here and which can be counted only for elective credit. Grades for all work transferred are recorded as earned. Transfer students should submit transcripts at the earliest possible date so that this determination can be made. Although all credits from regionally accredited junior colleges in college parallel courses are accepted (provided none of the credit was acquired after the student gained junior standing at a four-year college), a maximum of seventy-two semester hours is applicable toward the 128 semester hours required for graduation. Thus, a minimum of 56 semester hours must be completed at a baccalaureate institution. Only credit from regionally accredited institutions is acceptable for transfer to Concord University without special permission. Students transferring from two-year institutions must complete, at Concord, a minimum of fifteen semester hours in their major or teaching field. After transferring, a student must maintain a 2.00 grade average in all courses taken at Concord. Once admitted as a student to Concord, transfer credit will be accepted only for courses for which prior permission is obtained (pages 13-14).

Students who transfer from one college or university in the West Virginia State College and University Systems to another may transfer their core coursework, which will count toward fulfillment of General Studies requirements at the receiving institutions, under provisions of a Core Coursework Transfer Agreement. This assures the transfer of courses for General Studies credit for any of the courses listed in the agreement and does not limit the number of hours credit that a student may transfer in General Studies. The Registrar's Office can provide further details and listings of courses from state-assisted institutions that are acceptable as General Studies credit under the agreement.
