Transfer Credit

Transfer Credit

Students can choose to complete courses at other accredited institutions and then transfer their course credits to Wheaton College.

• In order for Wheaton College to accept courses from other institutions, students must complete a transfer credit approval form before enrolling any course(s). 
• Courses with a grade of "C-" and above are transferable.
• Courses must be letter graded. Pass/fail courses are not accepted.
• Community College courses will receive lower division credit only. 
• Transfer courses will carry only the primary thematic core attribute/tag, as determined by the Office of Academic Advising.
• See transfer credit approval form for additional restrictions and guidance. 
• Students are required and responsible for requesting official transcripts from the other institution   at the end of the course(s). All transcripts must come directly to Wheaton from the host institution.
• Approved course credit will transfer to Wheaton College; however, grades, in nearly all cases, will not transfer or be included in student GPA calculations.
  
  • Memorandums of Understanding with other institutions govern GPA inclusion/exclusion policies.

Other policies and procedures regarding transfer credit can be found on the How-to Transfer Credit Academic Advising page.
