Gettysburg College's Credit Transfer Guidelines

I'm interested in transferring to Gettysburg College and want to know about their transfer credit guidelines, especially for online courses. Does anyone have experience with this or know where I can find detailed information?

Certainly, transferring credits can sometimes be an intricate process, but I can walk you through the basics for Gettysburg College.

To begin, Gettysburg College's Registrar’s Office is primarily responsible for evaluating transfer credits. They work on a course-by-course basis, comparing the content, nature, and intensity of the courses you've previously taken to those offered at Gettysburg.

It's important to remember however that not all college-level courses will successfully transfer. Generally, courses that are comparable to Gettysburg's curriculum, and in which you've earned a grade of C- or better, are eligible for transfer.

As for online courses, Gettysburg College does accept transfer credits for online courses provided they come from an accredited institution. Nonetheless, the final discretion lies with the Registrar’s Office, as they review the content of the course to see if it matches their curriculum standards.

To get detailed, personalized information, your best course of action would be to contact the Registrar's office directly. They can look at your specific situation and provide the most accurate advice. Just make sure to have your syllabi or detailed course descriptions on hand, as they'll likely need those to make an evaluation.

Remember to be proactive in this process. The sooner you gather all the necessary documentation, the smoother it will go.

Hope this helps and best of luck with your transfer!
