Transfer Credit From Another University or College

Transfer credit for courses taken at other institutions is based on official transcripts issued directly to the Registrar of Antioch University McGregor from the registrars of those institutions.

The Registrar may evaluate credits from institutions that were accredited at the time of the student’s enrollment by one of the regional associations recognized by the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation: Middle States, New England, North Central, Northwest, Southern, and Western Associations. If an institution was not accredited by one of the regional associations listed above at the time of the student’s attendance, but subsequently became regionally accredited, the Registrar may present the transcript to the faculty for consideration of credits for those courses that have liberal arts-related content.

In addition, some institutions are not accredited by one of the regional associations named above but have obtained accreditation from one of the national institutional accrediting associations recognized by the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation: American Association of Bible Colleges; Association of Independent Colleges and Schools; Association of Theological Schools in the U.S. and Canada; National Association of Trade and Technical Schools; National Home Study Council. The Registrar may present a transcript from an institution thus accredited to the faculty for consideration of credits for those courses that have liberal arts-related content.

Students who have attended an institution other than those included above may be able to receive some credit by preparing an experiential learning portfolio or by taking an appropriate test approved by the American Council on Education as explained below. Students may also wish to refer to the section on prior experiential learning. Students with nursing, paramedic, or law enforcement backgrounds should refer to the exceptions in the next section.

Courses accepted in transfer must have been awarded a "C" or better, or the equivalent. No credit shall be awarded for remedial or developmental work, orientation, basic technical skills (such as typing, shorthand, automotive repair, sewing, computer awareness, basic electronics, technical drawing, real estate or cooking), or experiential learning preparation courses. Such skills are valuable but they are usually learned outside a liberal arts institution or are not applicable to the liberal arts degree.

In addition to coming from another university or college, credits can be transferred from prior experiential learning or examinations and other sources. Under certain circumstances, we also allow non-degree students to participate in our courses.
