Transfer Credits
Transfer credits are accepted at Huston-Tillotson University if they are earned at an institution accredited by one of the regional agencies for higher education. The student must have earned 30 hours and a cumulative 2.3 GPA to be considered a transfer student. If the student has earned fewer than 30 hours, the student will be classified as a first-year student and will be required to adhere to the high school admission guidelines.
Original transcripts must be submitted from all previous colleges/universities attended. The Registrar’s office will not accept credit from a non-accredited institution.
Students transferring from other four-year accredited institutions may transfer a maximum of 96 semester hours toward graduation. Credits from junior/community colleges are limited to 66 semester hours toward graduation requirements. All transfer credits are evaluated at the time of enrollment. Only courses with grades of “C” or better are accepted for transfer credit. There is no guarantee that all transfer credits will apply towards satisfying degree requirements at Hutson-Tillotson University. The Department chairperson and advisor, in consultation with the Registrar, make the final decision to accept transfer credit applicable to the student’s degree plan. Residence requirements for degrees at Huston-Tillotson University must be met regardless of the amount of work transferred. Transfer credit is not counted in calculating a student’s cumulative GPA.
