Understanding transfer credits at DeSales University

I'm considering transferring to DeSales University and was wondering if anyone knows how they handle transfer credits? Are there specific requirements or policies I should be aware of to maximize the credits I can bring in?

DeSales University generally has a favorable policy towards accepting transfer credits, and they consider credits from any regionally accredited institution. However, transfer credits are determined on a case-by-case basis and credit is not granted for coursework graded less than a C.

Key points to note about DeSales University transfer policy include:

1. To obtain a degree from DeSales, you must earn at least half the credits required for your major and a minimum of 15 credits of 300-400 level courses in your major field from DeSales. You also need to have a minimum of 30 of the last 36 credits required for the degree completed at DeSales.

2. The university does not have a limit on the number of credits that may be transferred. However, with the aforementioned requirement, the amount that applies to your DeSales degree can be impacted.

3. Certain academic programs may have specific transfer guidelines. For example, in the Nursing program, Biology and Chemistry classes taken more than seven years prior to admission are not accepted for transfer.

4. For coursework that is not part of DeSales's regular curriculum or if the comparison is not clear, the departments concerned evaluate such courses, and in consultation with the Registrar's Office, determine how those transfer credits can be used.

I would highly suggest reaching out to DeSales's Registrar's Office or Transfer Admissions with your current course syllabuses and transcripts as they can give you detailed advice on how your specific credits would transfer based on your program of interest. Moreover, remember that transferring credits isn't just about accepting them but about whether they can be useful to meet degree requirements at DeSales.
