Credit Transfer Policy

1.  Students are required to submit an official transcript for all work passed or failed at any other college or university, prior to or after enrolling at Winston College. The student who applies for admission to Winston College is responsible for having each institution send an official transcript directly to the Office of Admission.

2.  After entry to the college, transcripts are sent directly to the Admission Officer. Credit will be granted only once for equivalent courses. The Admission Officer determines which transfer credit will count toward requirements. The Admission Officer and Managing Director will evaluate credit that may apply toward the program that Winston College provides.

3.  All college level course work completed with a “C-” grade or better at an accredited institution of higher education will be accepted for credit at Winston College.  However, not all courses transferred will fulfill specific requirements for a particular program. Courses accepted will be included in the cumulative hours earned but neither grades nor grade points earned at other institutions will be used in the computation of the Winston College grade point average.

4.  A maximized total of 60 semester hours will be transferred to become the basis for completing a diploma at Winston College. The Admission Officer and the program instructor will evaluate credit that may apply toward the program requirements.  When appropriate, Admission Officer will assign the transfer credit.

5.  Credit earned at institutions that have non-regional accreditation will be considered for transfer, but only on a course-by-course basis, as approved by the Admission Officer or Managing Director.  Transfer credit counts toward graduation and is incorporated into the academic record.

6.  Credit from a foreign institution of higher education will be evaluated on a case by case basis.  It may be in the best interest of the student to have the transcript evaluated by an agency that specializes in foreign academic credentials.  In some cases, it will be appropriate to transfer up to 30 semester hours of unspecified credit, without grade points.
