Transfer Credit & Advanced Placement

 
How Transfer Credit Appears on the Transcript

Transfer credit submitted to and approved by Drew University will be entered onto the student record, with a letter grade preceded by a T, to reflect the coursework taken elsewhere (e.g. ‘TA’).

If the transfer credit is submitted without a final transcript a grade of ‘TN’ will display noting that the transfer class was approved, but a final grade (transcript) was never received. Transfer classes with a grade of ‘TN’ will not count towards the degree. Students that have transfer credit with a grade of ‘TN,’ viewable in Ladder or via TreeHouse Unofficial Transcript, should request a final transcript from the transfer institution to be sent to Drew University’s Office of the Registrar. If a student does not plan to use the transfer course, they should contact the Office of the Registrar to have it removed from their record.

How to Submit Final Transcripts or Copies of Test Scores/Certificates

Transcripts for credits taken at another institution should be official and submitted directly from the institution to Drew University.

How to Transfer Credit for Prospective/Newly Admitted Students

All transfer credit taken prior to enrollment at Drew University should be submitted to the Office of Admissions during the application process in order to be considered, student may also submit transcripts to the Office of the Registrar after being admitted. Transfer credit must be received by the university in the form of a sealed, official (or secure electronic) transcript or score report.

All transfer work will be evaluated by the transfer coordinator, department, and Dean’s Office upon acceptance. Eligible transfer work will be entered onto the student record after enrollment, visible in TreeHouse by clicking the “Ladder Degree Audit” link under the “Student” tab.

  • Transfer students should contact the Transfer Student Service Coordinator with any questions (973-408-3403).
  • First-Year students with transferable credit should contact [email protected] with any questions.

This page does not represent an exhaustive list of transfer credit policies and restrictions. Please refer to the Transfer Credit Policy section of the most recent CLA catalog for more information.

Transfer Credit Eligibility

In order to transfer credits into an undergraduate program at Drew University, transfer coursework must follow these basic criteria:

  • The course must be listed on an official transcript from an institution, in which the credit was originally taken, that has been accredited by a body duly recognized by the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE) and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) or be officially recognized by the appropriate government agency/ministry of education for foreign institutions.
  • Transcripts from institutions outside of the U.S. must be evaluated by World Education Services (WES) as stated in the transfer credit policy in the Catalog. Students must initiate the review by WES and pay the WES evaluation fee. 
    • NOTE: Students who study abroad through the Global Education Office or an established study abroad partner may be exempt from this requirement.
  • The course must be a course that would or could be offered at a liberal arts college.
  • A grade of C- or better must have been earned in the course. Pass/fail courses are not eligible for transfer.
  • The course must have been taken within the past 10 years. Courses that were taken more than 10 years prior to the request for transfer credit will require departmental approval for transfer.
  • Transfer students may transfer up to 80 credits to Drew.
  • First-Year students may transfer up to 32 credits to Drew.
Current Undergraduate (CLA) Students

Current undergraduate students who wish to take credit at another accredited institution with the intention to transfer credits to Drew must complete a Request to Transfer Credit form before attending.
IMPORTANT:  The process for securing approval to transfer credit often takes 4-5 weeks or longer, so please submit your Request to Transfer Credit form well in advance of the host institution’s registration window.  Note that you may be required to submit a course syllabus along with your request form (see first bullet below).

Students approved to attend a Fall or Spring longTREC must complete a LongTREC Course Pre-Approval form.

  • Students taking credits at a NJ Community College must refer to New Jersey Transfer to determine if the course already has a Drew equivalency listed.  If the course does not have an equivalency listed, a course syllabus must be submitted as part of the Request to Transfer Credit form. Course syllabi may be requested of the host institution’s Registrar’s Office or relevant academic department.
  • Students taking credits at institutions that are not a part of New Jersey Transfer will be required to submit a course syllabus for each transfer course as part of their Request to Transfer Credit form.  Course syllabi may be requested of the host institution’s Registrar’s Office or relevant academic department.
  • Students must submit an official transcript reflecting the final grade to Drew University Office of the Registrar within 4 weeks of completion.
    • IMPORTANT: Transfer credit taken in a student’s final term must be complete and graded with a final transcript received prior to the conferral date. If the term at the transfer institution ends after Drew’s conferral date, the student will be administratively moved to the next conferral date.
    • PLEASE NOTE: Transfer credit is determined by the number of credits taken at the host institution, regardless of the number of credits assigned to the equivalent course at Drew. Thus, a 3-credit course taken elsewhere will transfer to Drew as a 3-credit course. 

If a student has failed to report credit taken prior to attending Drew University at the time of admissions and wishes to have it reviewed for transfer, they should also fill out the Request to Transfer Credit and ensure a copy of the final transcript has been sent to the Office of the Registrar (see “How to Submit Final Transcripts or Copies of Test Scores/Certificates” above).
