An Advanced Standing Evaluation will be done after a student is accepted and after all course description or catalogue have been received. It is the responsibility of the student to obtain the course descriptions or catalogs from all colleges or universities outside of Allegheny County and for any courses taken prior to 1985. Once a student matriculates at Carlow College, the student must have permission from the faculty advisor and vice president for academic affairs prior to beginning a class at another institution. The student is also responsible for requesting that the registrar at the host institution forward an official transcript to the registrar at Carlow. The Carlow registrar will not accept a course for a student who has not obtained formal permission from the advisor and vice president to take the course.
Appropriate forms are available in the office of the vice president for academic affairs.
