Transfer Credits from Another Institution

Applicants transferring from another institution must be in good standing and must be eligible to return to the college or university previously attended. Recipients of the A.A. Degree are generally admitted at the junior level; however, applicants who transfer from community/junior colleges will be allowed no more than 64 semester hours of credit toward the completion of degree requirements at Flagler.

Transfer credits will be granted for courses in which a grade of C or better was earned. Grades are not transferable; hence, quality points earned for transfer credits are not used in computing a student's grade point average at Flagler.

In accordance with the Articulation Agreement between the Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida and the State Board of Community Colleges, students who have successfully completed the requirements for an A.A. Degree may transfer up to three courses in which a "D" grade was earned, provided the total number of transfer credits does not exceed 64 semester hours.

The amount of transfer credit and advanced standing allowed by the College will be determined by the Registrar and the Office of Academic Affairs. In some instances, department chairmen are consulted prior to awarding transfer credits.

Transfer students are responsible for submitting all official transcripts, CLEP or Advanced Placement test scores, and for confirming their level of advanced standing prior to registering for classes at Flagler.

Transient Transfer Credits from Another Institution
Flagler students who wish to take courses at another institution, while away from Flagler College, e.g., during the summer, must complete the Application for Transient Study. Additionally, students must receive approval from their Faculty Advisor, the Department Chair of the course, and the Office of the Registrar, before enrolling as a transient student at another college or university. Application forms are available in the Office of the Registrar. Students who fail to receive prior approval before enrolling at another institution will be denied transfer credit.

Flagler College limits the number of hours a student may earn at another college or university after that student has enrolled at Flagler. Freshmen who enroll at Flagler after graduating from high school may earn up to nine semester hours of credit from another institution, that is, freshmen may earn a total of nine credit hours between their freshman and senior years. Sophomores who have completed at least 30 semester hours, but not more than 60 semester hours, may earn up to six semester hours from another institution. Juniors who have completed at least 60 semester hours, but not more than 90 semester hours, may earn up to three semester hours of credit from another institution. Seniors must complete their final 30 semester hours of credit at Flagler College. Students may not earn credit for courses taken at a two-year college after they have earned 60 or more semester hours.
