You may apply to transfer up to 75 semester hour credits toward a Goddard undergraduate degree. This can be a combination of credit from regionally accredited colleges and universities, 大学先修课程考试, and College Level Examination Program (CLEP) examinations.

Goddard awards credit in semester hours, and a full semester of undergraduate study is equal to 15 semester hours. If a transcript presents credit in quarter hours, the following formula is used to convert to semester hours:[Total Quarter Hours] X 2/3 = [Total Semester Hours]. Fractions are rounded down to the nearest whole number.

To qualify for transfer, credit must meet the following criteria:

• Credit must be presented by way of an official transcript issued by a regionally accredited college or university.
• Credit must be for college-level, post-secondary courses. No credit is granted for remedial or basic skills courses, or courses that are not considered by the issuing institution as applicable towards a degree. No credit is granted for “Continuing Education Units.” If two courses appear to duplicate each other, credit is granted for 只有 one of the courses.
• Only credit for courses awarded a C or above in a letter grade system will be considered for transfer.
• 另外, 你目前的教育目标, Goddard undergraduate degree criteria and program-specific degree criteria are all taken into account in deciding whether to accept your transfer credits.

You must submit official transcripts for all previous study when applying to a Goddard BA or BFA program. A transcript is 只有 official when it is sent directly to the Goddard 招生 Office from the issuing institution, or when it is issued to the student in a sealed envelope. The 招生 Office must receive official copies of all transcripts carrying possible transfer credit by the last day of your first residency. An exception to this deadline is 只有 granted if your transcript is from a foreign college or university, or from an institution that no longer exists, or if there is some other factor that is out of your control. 如果你欠以前学校的钱, please address this balance; official transcripts from former schools must be submitted prior to enrolling at Goddard.

90(90)信用例外: In 非常罕见的 情况下, an undergraduate student may enroll with 90 semester hours of transfer credit, and therefore complete a Goddard bachelor’s degree in two full-time semesters. Please contact the 招生 Office for further information.
