Caldwell College Transfer Credit Policy

Transfer Credit may be granted for coursework at other institutions. The following criteria are used to determine when awarding credit is appropriate:

• The institution must be accredited by an accrediting body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education or officially recognized by the appropriate government agency/ministry of education for foreign institutions.
• Transcripts from foreign institutions must be evaluated by World Education Services
• Credit may be granted for military education experiences based upon American Council on Education (ACE) recommendations.
• Credit may be granted for other educational experiences, such as professional police and fire training, upon individual review.
• Grades of C or better may be accepted. Grades of P (Passing) or S (Satisfactory) may only be considered if it is the policy of the transferring institution that these grades are equivalent to a C or better and may only used for elective credit.
• A cumulative maximum of 90 semester hours may be transferred and used toward an undergraduate degree. The final 30 credits and at least one-half of the major requirements must be taken at Caldwell College
• Credit may only be awarded for coursework that is similar to Caldwell College coursework and is appropriate to the chosen curriculum.
• Students who have received an Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree from a New Jersey community/county college will have satisfied, as a block, the Caldwell College Core Requirements, except for 3 credits in Theology, 3 credits in Philosophy and 3 credits in the Catholic and Dominican Tradition and any course or courses in which a C or better was not achieved.
• In most cases, courses from other institutions will not be equivalent to Theology 102 due to the focus on Catholic theology.
