For all of your "Will this transfer?" questions!

Centenary policy requires that of the 124 minimum required semester credit hours for a degree, at least 60 hours must be earned in residence at Centenary. Therefore, regardless of the number of transferable credits completed elsewhere, to receive a Centenary degree, you will need to earn at least 60 credit hours in residence at Centenary. All students must also complete the Core and TREK Education requirements to earn an undergraduate degree from the Centenary College. These requirements are listed in the College Catalogue. 

An official college transcript is required for all college-level work, including dual enrollment credit. A minimum grade of C- is required for credit to transfer. Grades do not transfer and will not affect your Centenary GPA. 

Official AP, CLEP, or IB scores are required in order to receive credit. A list of approved exams and required scores can be found in the catalogue. 

Official college transcripts are required for ALL college-level work attempted, regardless of transferability.

In order for Centenary College to accept credit, the institution must be accredited through one of the following regional accreditation bodies:

• Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE)
• New England Commission on Higher Education (NECHE)
• Higher Learning Commission (HLC)
• Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU)
• Southern Association of Colleges and School Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC)
• Western Association of Schools and Colleges and University Commission (WSCUC) and Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC)

 

Centenary College accepts courses from a regionally-accredited institution that meet the following criteria:

• College-level 

• Academic in nature 

• Classroom-based courses 

• Grade of C- or above

• Liberal Arts-based courses

• Have a Centenary College equivalent*

*For courses not taught at Centenary College, free-elective transfer credit may be awarded for appropriate courses completed with a grade of C-minus or better at regionally accredited colleges or universities that meet Centenary College’ academic standards. Transferable courses for which there is no exact Centenary College equivalent are given the course number of 295.

To see if a course you want to take at another school will transfer to Centenary, please submit the Approval For Transfer Course Equivalencies for Currently Enrolled Students form. Please note that courses at the junior-level or higher (course number 300+) require departmental approval. If you are within 30 hours of completing your degree, you must also petition to take a course outside of Centenary during your last 30 hours.
