The Transfer Process

Regis College enrolls students from a number of two- and four-year colleges. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and once your application is complete, you can expect a decision within two to three weeks.

Transfer credits are evaluated individually and awarded for courses that are similar in content and depth to those offered at Regis College. Every attempt is made to transfer the maximum number of credits earned prior to a student’s admission to the College. The number of courses that apply to a particular program determine the number of credits and courses that need to be taken at Regis College. All transfer students must take a minimum of 16 courses in residency at Regis College and complete all degree requirements for graduation.

Regis College participates in articulation agreements with several two-year colleges to help facilitate the process of transferring between the institutions.

Evaluation of courses is based on the following factors

• Credit must have been awarded at a regionally accredited institution.
• A grade in the C range or better must be earned in each course considered for transfer. Grades of P (pass) will only be accepted if there is documentation that the P is equivalent to a C or better.
• Courses deemed remedial or English as a Second Language courses will not be given credit toward graduation.
• The College will not accept transfer courses completed more than seven years prior if such courses are central to the current knowledge and/or skills base of a program of study.

Note

• Some professional programs of study have special policies regarding transfer credits. Students should refer to the Program Handbook for information on transfer credit policies specific to a particular professional degree program.
• Students may appeal the transfer credit evaluation by submitting a written request to the Vice President of Academic Affairs. The review of the appeal shall be based on course descriptions, outlines, objectives, learning outcomes, and/or other relevant information.
• Students must complete a minimum of sixteen Regis College courses to be awarded a bachelor’s degree. Transfer students are required to meet the core curriculum and major requirements of the Regis College degree.
