Transfer Credit
Transfer credit is granted only for academically-valid courses in which the student earns a grade of C- or higher. Transfer credit is granted in the form of a comparable course, distribution credit, or elective credit. Credit is only awarded for courses taken at a similarly accredited institution.
Current students wishing to transfer credit back to Juniata must obtain pre-approval by completing a "Request for Clearance of Transfer Credit" form available in the Registrar's Office. On this form, the appropriate department chair will note the comparable Juniata course(s) (consulting as needed with the most recent instructor of the comparable course), and the student's advisers will indicate approval. For courses not deemed comparable with a Juniata offering, decisions will be made by the Registrar with advice from the appropriate department and the Student Academic Development Committee as appropriate. It is the student's responsibility to obtain information about the course and present this information to advisers and the department chair(s).
Students who enter Juniata with fewer than 24 credit hours may apply no more than 15 transfer credits toward a Juniata degree after their initial entry. No more than six of these 15 credits can be included in the POE. Students who enter Juniata with 24 or more credit hours may transfer credit according to the following chart.
| #of credits awarded upon entry |

Exceptions may be made for students participating in cooperative
programs, study abroad programs, and other Juniata-approved programs.
Students who have earned an associate degree elsewhere are awarded
credit as indicated in the Admission section of this catalog.
