Transferring Credit After Matriculation

After official matriculation for Rockford University degrees, students must complete a Transfer of Credit form and obtain approval from their advisors and from the appropriate departmental or program chair or college dean to take course work at another college or university for transfer to Rockford University. Students must get approval in advance of taking the class to ensure that course work will transfer. Completed application forms must be submitted to Student Administrative Services (SAS). All course work (outside of a compact agreement) with grades of “C” or better (grades of “C–” are not accepted) from regionally accredited colleges and universities will be evaluated and, if applicable to a bachelor’s degree, applied to the student’s degree plans. Coursework graded a “P” is only transferrable if “C” is considered Pass under the previous institution’s grading system. Coursework taken under the 100 level is not accepted.

SAS will bill students for the transfer credit acceptance fee (see fee schedule) after the Registrar receives official transcripts from the colleges or universities at which the course work was completed.

Rockford University accepts credit for transfer work but does not include the grade for such course work in the Rockford University grade point average. See the Honors Granted at Commencement section for more information on the final calculation of transfer work.
