Transfer Credit
Credits earned at an approved institution where the work completed is of similar rigor and content to the course offerings available at Trine University, with grades of “C” or better, may be transferred to Trine University. In determining transfer credit for the main campus, the Director of Transfer Pathways and Evaluations evaluates all transfer credit. The Director then sends the accepted credit to the Department Chair who approves and returns it to the Director who forwards to the Registrar. The Registrar approves the credit and adds it to the records. In determining transfer credits for CGPS/TOL, the Director evaluates all transfer credit and sends it to the Dean of CGPS/TOL for approval, the Dean then returns to the Director who forwards to the Registrar. An evaluation of transfer credit shall be made when the University receives an official transcript of the completed coursework. To facilitate the evaluation, the applicant should provide the Office of Admission with a catalog or guide which contains descriptions of the courses completed elsewhere.
