Applicants transferring from
another institution must be in good standing and must be eligible to
return to the college or university previously attended. Recipients of
the A.A. Degree are generally admitted at the junior level; however,
applicants who transfer from community/junior colleges will be allowed
no more than 64 semester hours of credit toward the completion of
degree requirements at Flagler.
Transfer credits will be granted for courses in which a
grade of C or better was earned. Grades are not transferable; hence,
quality points earned for transfer credits are not used in computing a
student's grade point average at Flagler.
In accordance with the Articulation Agreement between
the Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida and the State
Board of Community Colleges, students who have successfully completed
the requirements for an A.A. Degree may transfer up to three courses in
which a "D" grade was earned, provided the total number of transfer
credits does not exceed 64 semester hours.
The amount of transfer credit and advanced standing
allowed by the College will be determined by the Registrar and the
Office of Academic Affairs. In some instances, department chairmen are
consulted prior to awarding transfer credits.
Transfer students are responsible for submitting all
official transcripts, CLEP or Advanced Placement test scores, and for
confirming their level of advanced standing prior to registering for
classes at Flagler.
Transient Transfer Credits from Another Institution
Flagler students who wish to take courses at another institution, while
away from Flagler College, e.g., during the summer, must complete the
Application for Transient Study. Additionally, students must receive
approval from their Faculty Advisor, the Department Chair of the
course, and the Office of the Registrar, before enrolling as a
transient student at another college or university. Application forms
are available in the Office of the Registrar. Students who fail to
receive prior approval before enrolling at another institution will be
denied transfer credit.
Flagler College limits the number of hours a student
may earn at another college or university after that student has
enrolled at Flagler. Freshmen who enroll at Flagler after graduating
from high school may earn up to nine semester hours of credit from
another institution, that is, freshmen may earn a total of nine credit
hours between their freshman and senior years. Sophomores who have
completed at least 30 semester hours, but not more than 60 semester
hours, may earn up to six semester hours from another institution.
Juniors who have completed at least 60 semester hours, but not more
than 90 semester hours, may earn up to three semester hours of credit
from another institution. Seniors must complete their final 30 semester
hours of credit at Flagler College. Students may not earn credit for
courses taken at a two-year college after they have earned 60 or more
semester hours.
