Samford University accepts courses for transfer that have been earned at institutions that have regional accreditation and in which the student has earned a grade of C- or higher. Credit for coursework with a grade of C- or higher from institutions that are not regionally accredited will be considered for transfer credit where such credit represents coursework relevant to the degree sought, with course content and level of instruction resulting in student competencies at least equivalent to those of students enrolled at Samford. Grading System Grades are indicated by letter symbols. The numerical value assigned to a letter grade is determined by each faculty member. Below average performance.

If F is given as a final grade, the student must repeat the entire course and earn a passing grade to receive credit for it.
