Transfer Credit Guide

These are our guidelines for transferring college credits:

• A maximum of 90 semester hours will be accepted from a four-year institution.
• Courses completed at accredited colleges and universities are accepted at full value for courses passed with a “C” or higher.
• The maximum number of course hours that may transfer from a two-year institution is 60 semester hours.
• The Registrar, consulting with the appropriate department chair(s), evaluates coursework to determine equivalency.
• These courses must be comparable to our curriculum.

How many credits will Wingate University accept?

Wingate University accepts up to 60 credits from a regionally accredited two-year college. We accept up to 90 credits from a regionally accredited four-year college or university.

Which credits will Wingate University accept?

Once all your paperwork is complete and Admissions has official transcripts, the Office of the Registrar will complete a transfer evaluation. This evaluation shows exactly what will transfer and what each course will transfer in as. Courses from an accredited college or university completed with a “C” grade or better will generally transfer to Wingate University. The same goes for courses that fall under a broad liberal arts curriculum.

How many semesters do I have left?

It depends on how closely the program at your previous college or university matches our program and core curriculum. Are you keeping the same major? Did you take basic general education courses or technical/vocational courses? Match the “Wingate equivalents” on your transfer evaluation with the courses listed on your degree checklist. Mark through the credits you can apply, add up the hours you still need and divide by 15. Fifteen units is a typical semester load. The resulting number shows approximately how long it will take. This does not factor in summer school or course substitutions that may impact your program of study. Please contact the Office of the Registrar if you have more questions.
