1 TRANSFER OF CREDIT POLICY AND PROCEDURE Award of Transfer Credit Welch College awards credit: From accredited institutions of higher learning accredited by accrediting agencies recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), From High School Advanced Placement (AP), the International Baccalaureate (IB), and military programs. o To award credit, the following are necessary: Official transcripts and/or test scores and other documentation must have been received by Welch College. These documents must be analyzed according to the proper Welch College rubric, procedural advice by American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO), and recommendations of the American Council on Education (ACE). The Registrar at Welch College must make final approval before credit will be announced or awarded. From certain foreign institutions of higher learning. o Transfer of credit from foreign institutions requires: A complete analysis of all requested course work by a nationally-recognized and Welch College-approved agency qualified to conduct such analyses. Receipt of official recommendations regarding award of credit from the approved agency. A list of such agencies is available through the Registrar at Welch College. Contact and payment of all fees to the outside agency is the responsibility of the student. In some limited cases, transfer of credit may be made from certain unaccredited institutions, subject to probation as follows: Transfer credit may not exceed 24 hours. o (Students may make a written appeal accompanied by a supporting portfolio to the Registrar and to the Appeals Committee appointed by the Registrar, requesting additional transfer credit.) No credit will be applied to the student s transcript until he/she has successfully completed at least 24 hours at WELCH COLLEGE and maintained at least a C in all courses. o In each case, the unaccredited institution must have established a reputation of academic excellence, rigor, and operational best practices within the higher education community as is common among collegiate institutions exhibiting high quality and rigor in all their programs.

2 Requirements for Award of Transfer Credit Transcript Requirements All transfer credit is subject to transcript analysis based on official transcripts from another institution. An official transcript or other document is a properly sealed and signed copy delivered in a secure manner, usually via U.S. Mail. Any other method of delivery must have prior approval of officials in the Registrar s office at Welch College. On-campus Course Requirements Transfer credit will only be made for courses counting toward a degree at Welch College. Up to one-third of the hours in the major may be transferred. At least 40% of degree requirements, excluding free electives, must be taken at Welch College. During the last half of any degree program, the student must take the following on the Welch College campus: Baccalaureate degree: 48 of the last 60 hours (12 hours of transfer permitted within the last 60 hours) Associate of Christian Ministries degree: 36 of the last 45 hours (9 hours of transfer permitted within the last 45 hours) Associate of Arts/Science degree: 24 of the last 30 hours (6 hours of transfer permitted within the last 30 hours) o All courses taken for transfer credit while a student is enrolled at Welch College requires prior written approval. Students with Degrees Only degrees from properly accredited institutions are recognized by Welch College. (Welch College does not recognize degree from unaccredited institutions.) Only one-third of a degree major may be transferred toward a second degree at Welch College. Transfer of credit may not exceed the on-campus requirements for a second degree: Baccalaureate degree - 48 of the last 60 hours are to be taken at Welch College. Associate of Christian Ministries degree - 39 of the last 45 hours are to be taken at Welch College. Associate of Arts/Science degrees - 24 of the last 30 hours are to be taken at Welch College. Students seeking a second associate or baccalaureate degree, whether or not the degree is from Welch College, must complete at least 40% of the second degree on this campus. Post baccalaureate students with degrees from institutions accredited by regional accrediting associations (Tennessee State Department of Education regulation) are not subject to on-campus courses requirement since they are licensure- and not degree-seeking students. Adult Degree Students (ADP) may apply for exceptions to some on-campus requirements. Application is made by submitting the request in writing with an accompanying portfolio supporting the request to the Director of the ADP Program. Final approval is made by the Registrar.

3 Procedure for Award of Credit Transcripts from the transferring institution are verified as being official. The Registrar makes final approval of all recommendations. Transfer hours are awarded and placed on the student s transcript. The student is furnished a copy of his/her official transcript. No analysis, award of credit, or application to the transcript takes place until the College receives official transcripts from the referring college or other institution. NOTE: 1. Welch College does not award transfer credit for experience except for military training as noted above. 2. In no case will Welch College award second baccalaureate degrees without 40% of the new degree and at least one-third of the major hours being taken beyond the initial degree program at Welch College.

4 TRANSFER OF CREDIT SUMMARY (Compiled ) Institutions from which Credit is Recognized 1. Welch College accepts transfer credit from other accredited colleges, Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and military programs. Credit is also recognized from certain foreign and unaccredited institutions of higher learning. Except for military credit, no credit for experience is awarded. 2. Credit from unaccredited institutions is subject to probationary approval. Students must enroll in 24 hours at WELCH COLLEGE and maintain at least a C in all courses before credit will be awarded. Failure to maintain the C in all courses will result in loss of transfer credit. The limit of transfer credit from unaccredited institutions is 24 hours; however, the student may make a written appeal accompanied by a supporting portfolio to the Registrar and to the Appeals Committee, appointed by the Registrar, requesting additional transfer credit. 3. Credit from foreign institutions and unaccredited institutions is subject to careful analysis either by the Registrar and/or an approved outside agency. Please call the Registrar for details of the procedure for applying for such credit. Students are responsible for initial contact and all expenses related to analysis of foreign course work. Procedure for Awarding Transfer credit 1. Request that official transcripts and other documents be forwarded by U.S. Mail to the Registrar at WELCH COLLEGE or, if you are a first-time College student, to the Director of EMT. 2. Registrar will conduct a transcript analysis and apply all transferred credit to the transcript and degree audit within two to three working days. Students will be furnished copies of these two documents within five working days. 3. No credit will be applied to a Welch College transcript as transfer credit which does not count toward degree completion. Credit will be given up to one-third of the student s major and awarded according to the exceptions as shown below: Hours/Percent of Degree that must be taken on Welch CollegeCampus Baccalaureate degree - 48 of last 60 hours necessary for degree completion Associate of Christian Ministries degree - 36 of last 45 hours necessary for degree completion Associate of Arts/Science degrees - 24 of last 30 hours necessary for degree completion Students with degrees from accredited institutions - at least 40% of degree including 2/3 of the major Post-baccalaureate students are not subject to the degree requirements listed above. Transcripts are evaluated only for deficiencies and requirements for recommending teaching licensure. All work must be from a regionally-accredited institution (Tennessee State Department of Education requirements). CREDIT BY EXAMINATION College Level Examination Program (CLEP) College credit resulting from CLEP will be evaluated according to recommendations from CLEP and the credit award rubric developed and approved by Welch College. Welch College Content Area Course Examination Successful completion of a limited number of Welch College departmentally-prepared examinations will enable the student to exempt certain courses; however, no credit is usually awarded.
