Transfer Course Policy for New Incoming Students

Southern evaluates transfer credit from regionally accredited institutions and issues an official transfer credit evaluation at the time of acceptance.  Southern accepts transfer credit for prior courses with grades of "C- "or better. Remedial and/or developmental credits are non-transferable. 

Where credit was earned in a pass-fail or credit-no credit grade option, transfer credit will be awarded according to the definitions on the transferring institution’s transcript key as meeting the minimum grade equivalent of T1 (Transfer grade of C or better) or T2 (Transfer grade of C-).

For students who previously completed an associate degree at one of the Connecticut public community colleges or taken courses prior to admission from Eastern, Western, and Central Connecticut State University transfer credit may be awarded for minimum grade equivalent of T3 (Transfer grade of D+, D, D-) for pass-fail or credit-no credit grade option.

Transfer grades are not included in Southern's calculation of grade point average (GPA).  Transfer credits are subject to course-by-course evaluation towards program requirements or they may be applied towards free electives in the program.
