Official transcripts issued in languages other than English must be accompanied by an authorized English translation. *Andrews University reserves the right to request external credential evaluations for international transcripts. Will my credits transfer from an Unaccredited School? Students who have attended an unaccredited post-secondary institution are admitted based on regular admission criteria for Freshman students. Transfer credits may be accepted as elective credits based on an evaluation of the institution issuing the credits. The credits may then be applied to a program of study when approved by the department chair/program director and/or ACE director as appropriate. On occasion, Andrews University may create an articulation agreement with an unaccredited institution based on prior history with the success of students from the institution. How do my credits transfer? We will start the articulation process after the reception of all your official transcripts. Classes listed on the transcript will be evaluated for potential credit toward your Andrews degree and will be reposted in your student account. If your transfer credit does not have a direct equivalent listed you may petition after you've demonstrated satisfactory academic performance at Andrews through your department advisor or the director of Andrews Core Experience. Is there a limit of credits that will transfer? Up to 70 semester hours can be transferred from community colleges (two-year) to any undergraduate degree. A maximum of 30 transfer credits may be included in the last 60 credits of a bachelors degree. A maximum of 15 transfer credits may be included in the last 30 credits of an associates degree. Importance Notice: Requests for transfer of credits may be made only at the time of admission to the University, at the time when a change of program is approved, or if a petition to accept the course is approved and on file before a course is taken.
