Transfer FAQ

  • How do I see which credits transferred?
    • You may visit our website at http:// myec.ec.edu to review your academic information.  To review the current college catalog, go to http://www.ec.edu/academics/course-catalog and click on the appropriate year.
    • When you visit http:// myec.ec.edu , you will log in using your username and password: s.firstinitialmiddleinitiallastname (example: s.xxstudent); your password is the last four digits of your Social Security Number.
    • Once you are into the system, click on “Transcript” under “Go Directly To My” to see your transcript evaluation. 
    • If you do not see all of your previously attempted college work, please contact the Institutions which are not listed to request your transcripts be forwarded to Emmanuel College.

 

  • How do I see which courses I still need for my degree?
    • The "My Planning Page for Degree and Schedule" is an area where students can choose an Emmanuel College academic major and see which courses are required for the degree in a semester-by-semester format.  Any courses which have been transferred in from other institutions will be in bold, black formatting.  The courses in red are those that still need to be taken.
    • The Planning Page is for planning purposes only and is not the actual degree status page and schedule.
    • Students may access this page through the registration system (CRIS) in their MyEC account.

 

  • How are credits accepted from other institutions?
    • Accepted Institutions
      • Emmanuel College’s academic integrity demands that the quality of the coursework from other institutions be equivalent to that provided by its faculty. Therefore, a student in good standing at another regionally accredited institution of higher education will be admitted without condition and credit granted for courses which are comparable to courses offered by Emmanuel College. A minimum of 35 semester hours must be completed at Emmanuel College in order for a transfer student to earn an associate or a baccalaureate degree from Emmanuel College.
      • Transfer students who have been placed on academic probation/dismissal or whose last term GPA is below 2.0 at their previous institution will be considered for admission and if admitted will be placed on academic alert status. (See Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy.)
    • Non-Collegiate Work:
      • Credit for veterans’ training and other non-collegiate work is given in accordance with the credit recommendations published by the American Council on Education.
    • Transfer of D’s:
      • Emmanuel will post to student transcripts only courses in which a “C-” or higher has been earned. Students may petition the registrar to transfer in “D” grades up to 25% of the total number of transfer hours. “D” grades may not be used to satisfy requirements in Freshman Composition I or II, CM 130, or any course required in the major or minor.
    • Non-Accredited Schools/International Institutions:
      • Course work from an institution that is not accredited by a regional accrediting agency will be considered on a case by case basis. Furthermore, Emmanuel College reserves the right to deny admission to any student based on transcripts which are received from institutions deemed “degree mills” by the US Department of Education Council for Higher Education Accreditation www.chea.org.
      • Work from non-accredited schools may be considered for transfer credit subject to the following conditions:
        1. The satisfactory completion of 12 credit hours of coursework at Emmanuel, with a grade point average of 2.0 or better.
        2. The credit is applicable toward a degree or program that the student is pursuing at Emmanuel College.
    • Experiential Learning:
      • With the exception of granting credit for ED101 to education para-professionals, Emmanuel does not typically grant college credit for experiential learning.
    • Transfer Course Evaluation:
      • Transfer course work will be evaluated by the registrar in consultation with the appropriate division chairs (as needed). Transfer students assume responsibility for the submission of an official transcript from EACH of the institutions previously attended. A copy of the enrolled coursework must be submitted if this is not included on the transcript from the current College/University.

 

  • Do I need to submit all transcripts?
    • Full and Accurate Disclosure
      • Students who have attended another college or university must disclose that information and submit transcripts from every school previously attended. Failure to report and submit all transcripts or paperwork from previous institutions (including high school records) by the start of the drop/add period of the student’s first semester and/or submission of fraudulent transcripts may result in dismissal from Emmanuel College.
      • Emmanuel College reserves the right to deny admission to any student based on transcripts which are received from institutions deemed “degree mills” by the US Department of Education Council for Higher Education Accreditation www.chea.org.

 

  • Is there a maximum number of transfer credits that can be applied toward my degree at EC?
    • There is no maximum number of credits that can be transferred from collegiate institutions.  However, a maximum of 24 semester hours of credit may be acquired through AP, CLEP, and IB testing.

 

  • How many credits must I take at EC to obtain a degree?
    • A transfer student must take a minimum of 35 hours, including core curriculum requirements, in order to graduate from Emmanuel College. A student who transfers as a sophomore may exempt BI 111 in consultation with his/her academic advisor and the registrar. However, BI 112 will be required as a prerequisite for BI 300 and TH 237. School of Christian Ministries students are not eligible for this exemption. A minimum of twenty (20) semester hours of major lower and upper division courses are required in the student’s major.
    • Students must take their last semester at Emmanuel College plus meet other requirements in the liberal arts core in order to graduate from Emmanuel College.
    • Emmanuel students who take courses (as transient students) at other colleges prior to their graduating from Emmanuel College should have approval from the registrar before enrolling in these courses. Otherwise, credit may not be granted toward meeting Emmanuel’s graduation requirements. No more than 6 hours of the last semester of credit may be earned at another institution. Transient permission letters are mailed directly to the transient institution; and it is the student’s responsibility to complete any additional requirements of that institution. Transcripts must be forwarded to Emmanuel College after completion of the transient work

 

  • Does my grade point average (GPA) transfer over?
    • Emmanuel College transfers grades and hours for all coursework attempted into the calculation of the cumulative GPA. 

 

  • How many bible courses are required?
    • Students entering Emmanuel College with sophomore standing (30 or more semester hours) will be required to complete one Bible survey course (BI 112), Gospel of John (BI 300), and Christian Ethics (TH 237) at Emmanuel College unless these courses have already been completed successfully at a previous institution. School of Christian Ministries students are not eligible for this exemption.

 

  • I already have a degree; do I need to take core classes?
    • Students transferring to Emmanuel College who have completed a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science at another regionally accredited institution must have the following courses completed in order to waive the Liberal Arts Core:
      • English Composition I - 1 course
      • English Composition II - 1 course
      • Intro to Communication - 1 course
      • Mathematics - 1 course
      • History - 1 course
      • Social/Behavioral Science (not History) 1 course
      • Literature/Fine Arts - 1 course
      • Natural Science with lab - 1 course
    • If these course requirements have not been met, the student must complete these requirements in order to graduate from Emmanuel College. Lower division and upper division courses specific to the student’s chosen degree program must also be completed including one Bible survey course (BI 112), Gospel of John (BI 300), and Christian Ethics (TH 237). Transfer credit will be granted for courses completed at a previous institution that meet these requirements. Credits earned outside of these requirements will not generally be granted for Liberal Arts Core courses for students with a BA/BS degree.

 

  • What is the CAP program?
    • In an effort to provide cultural enrichment for the student body, the College has developed the Cultural Awareness Program. Events sponsored by Emmanuel College under the Cultural Awareness Program will include, but not be limited to, lectures, music, art, and drama presentations.
    • CAP events do not usually include convocation/chapel and other special Spiritual Life programs. A list of events which are approved for the Cultural Awareness Program will be distributed at the beginning of each semester.
    • CAP credits will not be granted for off-campus events without prior approval from the Cultural Awareness Committee. Verification of attendance at CAP events will be made and records maintained in the Student Records Office.
    • The complete CAP purpose, policy, and etiquette statements are available on the Cultural Awareness Program website (http://www.ec.edu/life/cap-events).
    • Graduates of Emmanuel College must complete the required number of Cultural Awareness Events as determined by the registrar in accordance with the Core Curriculum Requirements as stated in this Catalog.
