A maximum of seventy-two (72) semester hours will be accepted toward graduation for students transferring directly from junior, technical, or community colleges. A minimum of twenty-one (21) semester hours in the major and eight (8) hours in the minor must be completed at Newberry College, and students must complete the last thirty (30) hours at Newberry College. Courses taken at the junior college level will not substitute for 300- and 400-level courses required in the major program at Newberry College, except by petition and departmental approval.
Any student who has completed an associate degree (60 semester/90 quarter credits) with a grade point average of C or better from an institution accredited by a regional, professional/specialized, or national accrediting organization recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) or the U.S. Department of Education at the time the course was completed meets Newberry College's transfer admissions requirements and all general education requirements except for Religion (RL - 3 hours). Students transferring in with an associate degree (A.A. or A.S.) enter Newberry College as a junior. Transfer students with an A.A.S. degree from a South Carolina Technical College may meet core requirements in specified online programs. For more information, contact the Director of Online and Graduate Admissions. When determining a course-to-course transfer for degree requirements, the course will be assessed on the level of the course and the title.
Students transferring directly from another four-year college or university must complete a minimum of twenty-five percent (25%) of the semester hours of credit and at least twelve semester hours in the major at Newberry College. In most cases courses that can be applied to the Newberry College degree will be accepted from regionally accredited institutions, provided the applicant has a grade of “C” or higher at the previously attended institution. (The College Registrar may review all collegiate coursework presented on a case-by-case basis for potential transfer credit.) If a student is awarded transfer credit for a course that carries a Newberry College core tag, the student will also be awarded credit for the tag. This policy does not apply to the WI tag which must be satisfied by Newberry College coursework.
Newberry College reserves the right to determine whether any particular course meets the requirements and standards of the College for transfer.
