Find out how to transfer college credit

Here are some other important guidelines about transferring credits to Franklin:

• Credit will be accepted for any college course completed with a grade of “D” or higher, including grades of “Pass” and examination credit, subject to GPA and course requirements of the major program.
• “D” grades are not permitted in major area courses regardless of where the course is taken. 
• Some majors, such as Accounting, Computer Science and Financial Management, may have rules regarding the transferability of credits taken 10+ years ago.
• Credit is awarded based on subject matter, prerequisites, level and laboratory requirements. 
• You have the right to appeal Franklin’s transfer credit decision. Talk with your academic advisor about how to appeal. Keep in mind that a course syllabus from the date in which your course was taken will most likely be required for an appeal regarding specific course credit. All decisions for appeals are granted by the Program Chair or Lead Faculty member.
• If your transfer credit is accepted, you must complete Franklin’s two-hour Learning Strategies (PF 321) course, which helps you prepare to be a successful lifelong learner both academically and in your chosen career.
• If accepted, please review your acceptance and application of transfer credit with your academic advisor who may apply appropriate substitutions to major requirements in consultation with the Program Chair.
• If you are a transfer student, you still have an obligation to meet Franklin’s residency requirements (see “General Degree and Residency Requirements”).
• If you wish to declare a different major program than your original selection, you must confer with an academic advisor to see how transfer credits will apply to  your new major. If you declare a new major program based on the results of your consultation, you will be bound by the requirements in effect at the time of your re-declaration.
• If you repeat a course equivalent to one for which you’ve been granted transfer credit,  your transfer credit will be removed.
• All transcripts become the property of Franklin University, and duplicates will not be released to you or any third party.
