Credits

If you have earned credits at an accredited college or university, they may be evaluated for transfer to Simpson University under the following considerations:

• The credits must be compatible in nature, content, and level with earned credits offered by Simpson University.
• The credits must be appropriate and applicable to those earned through programs offered by Simpson University.
• Only courses in which you have earned a grade of C or above will be transferred. Note that a distinction is made between credits accepted for admission purposes and those accepted toward degree requirements. In other words, certain credits may be acceptable as electives, but may not qualify for credit toward a major if the equivalent major is not offered by Simpson University.
• The Academic Office at Simpson determines which credits will be accepted and which may be applied toward a degree program. In some cases, academic division may be consulted before a final decision is made.

In addition to these stipulations, credits earned at institutions which are not accredited by an accrediting body formerly recognized by the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation (COPA) may be evaluated for transfer to Simpson University through one or more of the following procedures:

• Review of syllabi, faculty credentials, grading standards, and learning resources of the sending institution which are applicable to the transfer credits being considered.
• Analysis of the success of a number of previous students who have transferred to Simpson University from the sending institution.
• Successful completion of a minimum of 30 semester credits of more advanced study at Simpson University.
• Verification of at least five accredited colleges that have accepted credits from the sending institution.

Credits for transfer from foreign institutions are evaluated by criteria recommended by organizations such as the National Association for Foreign Student Affairs (NAFSA).
