Transferring Credits

Transferring made simple.

Springfield College provides each accepted student with a transfer credit evaluation that includes how credits were received as well as which credits are needed to complete a bachelor’s degree.

Generally, courses taken at regionally accredited institutions that are 100-level or higher in which students earned a grade of C- or better will transfer to Springfield College as well as credits earned on joint service transcripts. Credits are eligible to transfer into the core curriculum and to fulfill major and elective requirements.

Transfer Equivalency

Credits that meet the following criteria will be reviewed for transfer equivalency.

The credits are less than 10 years old (seven years for sciences)
- For online students only: Courses older than 10 years may be considered on a case-by-case basis
You earned a grade of C- or better in the course
We offer a similar course at Springfield College
The course was a 100 level course or higher (developmental courses are not eligible)

For students enrolled at our area community colleges, our general education course equivalency guides provide a clear sense of courses that will transfer to satisfy general education requirements at Springfield College.
