Transfer of Credit
Transfer of credit is considered on an individual basis and may be granted for comparable science, general education and specific program courses completed at other regionally accredited post-secondary institutions. Note: Transfer of credit of specific program courses is different for each program. Please refer to Program Handbooks for complete details.
For transfer credit to be granted, a course must correspond to one offered through Mercy College of Northwest Ohio or be evaluated as comparable by the appropriate faculty. Students seeking transfer credit are responsible for supplying a course description for those courses considered for transfer that are not listed on our Transfer Guide on the web. To determine course equivalency, students may also be requested to supply course syllabi and/or other materials related to a specific course. To have a course reviewed for transfer credit, students must email the Registrar at registrar@mercycollege.edu and attach the course description of the course they wish to transfer. A response, by email, will be provided within 48 hours upon receipt of initial request. Any general education and science course with a grade of ‘C’ or better and taken within the past seven years (excluding program courses, which do not transfer) will be considered for transfer. To waive the time limits, student must meet with their advisor and submit a Waiver/Substitution Form.
Any course with a grade of ‘C’ or better and taken within the past seven years (nursing courses must have been taken within the past three years) will be considered for transfer. Written requests to waive the time limits will be considered on an individual basis. Students may be required to complete a departmentally prepared examination in the subject area to validate their current knowledge in specific subject areas. For credit to be awarded a grade of ‘C’ or better must be achieved on such examinations. A fee for the administration/grading of these exams will be assessed.
Transfer credits are not calculated in the student’s grade point average.
