Applicants who have previously attended colleges or universities must submit official transcripts from all schools attended whether credit was earned or not. Students may not disregard their records from other institutions of higher education. Failure to report previous college attendance is sufficient cause for cancellation of a student’s admission or registration and of any semester credits earned at Reinhardt University.
Transfer requirements are:
- Minimum cumulative 2.0 grade point average.
- Transfer students should be eligible to return to the last institution attended.
- Applicants who do not meet minimum requirements for admission will be required to submit additional documentation including letters of recommendation and a personal statement. Once completed, the entire file will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee.
- Transfer applicants with less than 30 transferrable semester hours or 45 quarter hours must also submit official, final high school transcripts. These applicants must meet Freshman requirements as indicated on page D2
Transfer Credit Policies
Credit earned at other post-secondary institutions will be evaluated considering the following policies:
- Only official transcripts will be evaluated.
- Only credits from institutional accrediting agencies approved by the U.S. Department of Education will be evaluated for transfer.
- Transferred credits will be equated to directly equivalent courses offered by Reinhardt, when possible. If a direct equivalent is not offered by Reinhardt, the credits will be evaluated by the respective School Dean to determine use toward meeting degree requirements for a major.
- Students will be required to meet all credit hour and degree requirements as stated in the Reinhardt Academic Catalog for degree completion.
- A total of 90 semester hours of credit may be applied toward a Reinhardt baccalaureate degree; a total of 40 semester hours may be applied toward a Reinhardt associate degree.
Note: Students may transfer in up to 90 semester hours for a bachelor’s degree; however, a minimum of 50% of required major credits must be completed at Reinhardt University.
- No grades of D will be accepted.
- No transfer credit will be accepted for a course previously attempted and failed at Reinhardt University.
- Credit earned at a non-regionally accredited institution will be evaluated individually to determine acceptance. The collegiate nature of the course content and the credentials of the instructor must be documented for evaluation by Reinhardt. Contact the Office of the Registrar for additional information.
Transfer credit will not be accepted for the following courses:
- Remedial English and remedial mathematics.
- Courses basically of a secondary school or pre- college level.
- Vocational, technical and occupational courses (unless specified in an articulated agreement with another post-secondary institution).
- Courses with nonacademic content.
- Institutional credit courses.
- Credits transferred into one Reinhardt University program may not necessarily apply to another Reinhardt program.
- Credit posted by another college or university based on CLEP, Advanced Placement, and International Baccalaureate tests will be evaluated subject to Reinhardt’s score requirements. Official score reports must be sent to Reinhardt University’s Office of Admissions
- Reinhardt University reserves the right to test the proficiency of any student in course work transferred from other institutions and the right to disallow transfer credit in such course work in cases in which the student cannot demonstrate acceptable proficiency.
- Under certain conditions, a Reinhardt student may enroll in another accredited institution as a transient student to earn credits to transfer to Reinhardt University. To ensure credit for such work is applicable to a degree at Reinhardt, approval by the Office of the Registrar should be obtained in advance.
