Transfer Credit
Wabash College will accept course credits from other colleges and universities under the following conditions:
• The institution must be accredited;
• Course work should be liberal arts in nature and acceptable to Wabash College;
• The term grade must be at least C-.
An OFFICIAL academic transcript (not a grade report) is required to establish an official academic record of transfer credit.
Wabash College will accept for transfer college courses taken by a high school student only when the student enrolled in a section of a college course that included students from the general college population.
Individual two semester hour courses will count as one-half course credit. Individual 3, 4, or 5 semester hour courses will count as one course credit. Academic departments will have the final decision on transfer credit for courses in their fields and in determining if a transfer course can meet requirements for their major or minor.
Transfer credit appears in the student’s academic record as credit without letter grade and is not used in the determination of academic grade point average. Transfer credits to be counted toward the fulfillment of a department major or minor, the foreign language requirement, or in mathematics and science must be approved by the appropriate department or committee. All other transfer credits must be approved by the Registrar.
No more than one transfer course credit may be used per distribution area to meet the requirement. With respect to this requirement, credit earned in approved off-campus study or by Wabash examination will be counted as Wabash course credit.
Transfer credit requests may be filed using the Transfer Course Request Form available on the Registrar’s webpage at http://www.wabash.edu/registrar. Transfer credit will not be accepted unless prior approval has been granted by the Registrar and/or academic departments as needed.
