Transfer of Credit

Credit may, at the discretion of the Registrar and/or faculty, be granted for courses taken at other institutions in a similar program and at the same level. Credit will only be granted for courses that cover the same subject matter as those offered at City Seminary and in which the student received a grade of 3– or better. The student must provide the Registrar with a catalogue of the year in which he took the course. If there is any question, City Seminary may require a qualifying examination.

The grades for transfer courses will appear as “credit” and will not be averaged in the student’s GPA, though they will count toward the fulfillment of his graduation requirements. No more than 60 percent of the courses necessary for any program may be by transfer credit.

Graduate students may opt to “test out” of courses that they have taken in an undergraduate program. However, such courses will not be counted toward the number of credits needed for graduation.

As a general rule, courses taken more than ten years previously may not be transferred.
