Transfer Credit

While the evaluation of transcripts is made by a transfer credit evaluator, the faculty of the College establish the criteria by which Manhattanville equivalencies are determined and credits awarded. Transfer credit may awarded for course work completed prior to matriculation at Manhattanville, and also while a matriculated student, as for example during summer or winter sessions, or during an approved leave of absence.

Pre-approval for transfer credit is required of all matriculated students who plan to take courses at an institution other than Manhattanville. Courses submitted for transfer of credit must be:

part of the normal undergraduate curriculum published in the institution’s catalog

recorded on an official transcript of the credit-granting institution

taken for a letter grade (courses taken on a Pass/Fail basis cannot transfer).

An evaluation of official transcripts will be completed based on students' pre-approval. Credits will not be awarded if the student has not obtained pre-approval. The approval procedure requires completion of the Request for Transfer Credit Approval Form which can be obtained on the Registrar's Office website. The department chair as well as the student’s advisor must sign the form, which must confirm the Manhattanville equivalency for the course that will be taken. Once completed, the form should be submitted to the Registrar’s Office. When credits are transferred from another institution, grades earned are not transferred to the student’s Manhattanville transcript, nor are they calculated into a student’s Manhattanville GPA.
