Transfer Credit
It is the student’s responsibility to provide all of the information required by the Office of the University Registrar to assess the program for which transfer of credit is requested. Work presented for transfer must be from a regionally accredited college and is subject to evaluation in light of the degree requirements of the College of Arts and Science. Credit will not be awarded for independent study, physical education, or dance performance courses.
Work transferred to Vanderbilt from another institution will not carry with it a grade point average. No course in which a grade below C– was received, or which was taken on a Pass/Fail basis, will be credited toward a degree offered by the College of Arts and Science. The question of credit in the College of Arts and Science for previous work done at another institution must be settled in advance of the student’s first registration.
Transfer students must spend at least four full semesters, including the last two semesters, enrolled in the College of Arts and Science. They must earn at least 60 credit hours and complete at least one writing course in fulfillment of the writing requirement while so enrolled.
