Transfer Credits - Bachelor's Degree

Mount Aloysius may award junior class status to a student who has earned an associate's degree from a regionally-accredited community or junior college or, in the case of RN to BSN students, a diploma in nursing from an approved school of nursing. Associate's degrees earned at regionally-accredited colleges with a minimum 2.0 cumulative quality point average will be equated to sixty (60) earned credits. These credits will be applied toward degree requirements for a bachelor's degree. Graduates of approved diploma schools of nursing with a minimum 2.0 cumulative quality point average may be awarded equivalency credits only toward the bachelor of science degree in nursing. Students may apply to have up to ninety (90) total credits accepted by Mount Aloysius College and applied toward a bachelor's degree subject to the requirements of the student's intended major. Credits earned from regionally-accredited colleges will be accepted. Credits earned from nationally-accredited post-secondary institutions will be accepted on a caseby- case basis. The course must be comparable to the one offered by Mount Aloysius College and satisfy either a required or elective course within the student's major. The lowest acceptable grade will be a "C." Course work that has been completed seven (7) or more years previously may or may not be accepted as transfer credit. The number of credits permitted in transfer is governed by the graduation requirements for bachelor's degrees. All Mount Aloysius College graduation requirements must be met. Coursework accepted in transfer may be used to meet both elective and program requirements; however, it may take the student more than two additional years of study to complete all graduation requirements. Only official transcripts, forwarded by the institution which granted the credit, will be accepted as proof of credit earned. Transfer admissions and credit evaluations are conducted by the Vice President for Enrollment Management in collaboration with the Office of the Registrar.
