Prior to being admitted to the University, incoming transfer students may use the transfer equivalency guides (see below), community college transfer guides, or work with the University’s Advising Office via their transfer counselor to obtain unofficial evaluation of transfer credits.

Once admitted to the University, all incoming transfers will have an official transfer credit evaluation, referred to as an Advanced Standing Evaluation, completed by the Advising Office within three weeks of acceptance.

Generally, credit will be given for courses in which the student has earned a “C” or better. Transfer students admitted to Carlow University with earned college credits must meet the University’s residency requirement, which is a minimum of 32 credits successfully completed at Carlow University. These 32 credits are over and above any credit earned through the CLEP examination and challenge procedures.

Transfer of Credits

Clicking the button below will guide you through an unofficial evaluation and should be used for general information only. Courses given credit in the quarter system will be converted to semester credits at the time an official evaluation is conducted.

Carlow University accepts transfer credits from accredited programs and colleges. The University will make every attempt to utilize the academic credits earned by its students. This system can be used to approximate how courses will transfer to Carlow University. The courses listed typically transfer as listed. Differences can occur, however, when a student is transferring courses into the major field of study. Grades must be a "C" or above to be transferred to Carlow and letter grades must be received. "P's" ("Pass") and "S's" ("Satisfactory") grades do NOT transfer.

Please Note: Advanced Standing Evaluation (ASE) determines whether or not incoming transfer students must complete the University’s placement tests prior to enrollment. Placement tests serve as the primary factor in determining which skills or core classes students will complete once enrolled.

Disclaimer:

There are core, support and major requirements to be met. Those will be discussed with a student's advisor after application to the University.

This information is meant to be a GENERAL guide for students in planning appropriate courses for transfer to Carlow University. However, departmental requirements in a chosen major can determine additional requirements. It is recommended that a student refer to major requirements in conjunction with this transfer information.

This evaluation is unofficial. Students will need to provide an official transcript to Carlow for all courses to be transferred.
