Transferring Credits to Capitol

During the admissions process, your credits will be evaluated. Once you are enrolled, an official determination is made by the Office of Registration and Records in consultation with the academic departments and approved by the vice president for academic affairs.

Capitol College will consider credit for transfer from coursework completed at a regionally accredited institution, or, in special cases, other qualified institutions acceptable to the standards of the College. We'll consider transfer credit for courses taken at an unaccredited institution on a probationary status, pending your completion of a minimum of 24 credits at Capitol with a CGPA of 2.0.

Coursework must also meet the following requirements:

  • Courses must be relevant to the Capitol College curriculum.
  • Only a passing grade of C or higher will be considered for transfer (courses are evaluated and transferred individually).
  • Capitol College credit requirements are based on the semester credit system. Transfer credits from other institutions operating on other academic calendar systems will be converted to semester credits.
  • The grade of D will not be accepted for credit even when it is part of a degree.

For all transfers, a minimum of 30 semester credits (15 in the student's major) must be completed at Capitol College to receive an associate's degree. A minimum of 40 semester credits (20 in the student's major) must be completed at Capitol College to receive a bachelor's degree. The College will transfer a maximum of 70 semester-credit hours from any combination of the following:

  • Community or junior colleges
  • Proprietary or technical schools
  • The military
  • College Level Examination Program
  • Advanced Placement
