Transfer Students
In addition to the above procedures, a transfer student needs to
submit an official transcript for each college or university
attended. The Academic Dean's Office will coordinate the transfer
process. Please note the following policies that involve
transferring to AIC:
1. The student will demonstrate proficiency in English, Writing,
Mathematics, and Reading. Some additional courses in these areas may
be required, depending upon the assessment. These courses may apply
to degree requirements, with the approval of the Academic Dean.
2. Transfer of credit from a regionally or nationally accredited
college will be made for comparable courses with a minimum grade of
“C.” Upper division courses will be evaluated by the appropriate
departmental chairperson for applicability to AIC degree
requirements.
3. Transfer of credit from non-accredited colleges will be
awarded under the following conditions:
a. Generally one or more semesters of courses at AIC with at
least a 2.00 grade point average (GPA) will be required to
validate the transfer of credit. Students not achieving a
sufficient (GPA) may not be awarded the full allowance of transfer
credits.
b. The maximum allowance of transfer credits is 30 credit
hours. Under certain conditions more hours may be granted,
(pending approval from the Academic Dean's office). Only courses
with at least a “C” will be transferred.
4. A student transferring more than 55 credit hours may be
required to enroll in upper division courses in research
methodology, critical thinking, or other subjects recommended by the
departmental chairperson.
5. Transferring students need to complete at least 25% of
their major at AIC. This is to assure that graduates of AIC have had
sufficient opportunity to identify with the College's mission, as
well as demonstrate proficiency in their degree programs. A student
entering as a senior must complete a minimum of 30 semester credits
in residence to qualify for a degree. The thirty credits may take
longer than one year to complete depending upon availability of
courses.
6. Transferring students must complete the AIC General Education
requirements and satisfy all other graduation requirements of their
particular degree programs.
7. Any exceptions to these policies will need approval from the
Academic Dean's Office.
