Transfer Credit

Transfer credit from other regionally accredited institutions may be used to satisfy general education requirements at Snow College. Students must provide the Transfer Articulation Specialist with official transcripts from all colleges and universities which they have attended. Snow College accepts transfer credit based on the following criteria:

  • Courses must be non-remedial in nature and must be generally acceptable toward a degree or certificate.
  • For course credits to transfer to Snow College, the student must have earned a passing grade for the course. This is represented by the equivalent of a "D-" or better or a "P." To satisfy a program's requirements, transferred courses must meet the minimum grade and credit requirements established by the program.
  • Courses must appear on an official transcript from the sending institution. Transcripts issued to the student are not considered official and will not be accepted.
  • There is no limit to the number of transfer credits which may be accepted.
  • Transfer courses will not be accepted from other institutions for the purpose of posting a grade change of a course previously taken at Snow College.
  • The transfer credit evaluation is subject to audit and reevaluation.
  • Transfer credit should be received at least three weeks prior to registration.
  • Credit obtained from an institution that is not regionally accredited may be reviewed on a course-by-course basis. A course description and/or course syllabus may be required in order to evaluate credit.
  • The GPA from transfer credit is not calculated in the Snow College GPA.
  • For credit for military training, submit a DD214.
  • Students with credit earned at a foreign post-secondary institution must submit a certified copy of the transcript from TEC - The Evaluation Company.

Students may transfer credits back to Snow College after they have transferred to another institution to complete Snow College's graduation requirements. The student must send an official transcript to Snow College with the credit the student wants applied to his or her graduation audit. After the transcript has been sent, please contact the graduation office at graduation@snow.edu or (435) 283-7142.
