Policy on the transfer of credits
Evaluation of work: a. A tentative course-by-course evaluation of transfer work is prepared by the Registrar‘s Office. If a student is transferring from a college or university accredited by a regional accreditation association (such as the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools), his/her work will be generally accepted if it is equivalent to or parallel with course work offered at HSU and satisfactory grades have been earned. Final acceptance of transfer work is subject to the approval of the Registrar, who is the Articulation Officer for Hardin-Simmons University. HSU requires an official copy of all transcripts. b. Students seeking to transfer from an unaccredited college or university may be permitted to transfer as many as 30 semester hours contingent upon: (1) evaluation of the work to be transferred on a course-by-course basis; (2) completion of at least 15 semester hours of HSU work with a grade of C or better. c. Up to 15 semester hours of work unrelated to fields
