Transferring Your College Credits
We recommend that you submit all application materials as soon as possible when you’re transferring. Even if you only took one course at another college or university, we require that you have all official transcripts forwarded to Emmanuel. Your enrollment counselor will help you through the process of obtaining these. After you have been accepted into your online program and we have received your application and transcripts, our Registrar’s Office will send you a copy of your transfer credit evaluation within three weeks.
For bachelor’s programs, we require at least 48 credits be completed at Emmanuel. For our RN-to-BSN program, all the required Bachelor of Science credits (32) must be completed at Emmanuel. In most cases, credits will transfer into your undergraduate program if you received a C (2.0) or better in a course. For our graduate programs, credits will transfer if you received at least a B (3.0) or better in your courses. Credits must be taken at post-secondary institutions that are accredited by one of the six regional accrediting commissions. The grades you earned for transfer courses will not appear on your Emmanuel College transcript and will not be calculated into your GPA.
