How Do My Credits Transfer?
Stevenson is committed to helping transfer students minimize credit loss and complete their degree at Stevenson in as little time as possible. The Registrar’s Office facilitates the evaluation of credit for students who have earned college credit from another institution or successfully completed Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), or College-Level Examination Program (CLEP).
Transfer students must submit official transcripts of all previous college records to Stevenson.
Admitted students who have earned college credit in the United States will be emailed their official transfer credit evaluation within 2-3 weeks of being admitted to Stevenson. Please note that a student’s evaluation is preliminary and ongoing; only courses with a final grade will be evaluated. Students should submit additional official transcripts as coursework is completed before their registration.
Transfer Your Credits Seamlessly
Students who enter Stevenson with an A.A., A.S., or A.A.T. degree from an accredited community college in the United States, which also meets the minimum State of Maryland requirements, will have met all of Stevenson’s general education (Stevenson Educational Experience) requirements.
Please note a second composition course is required if the student doesn’t have an equivalent course as part of the associate’s degree. General education block transfer is of great value because it allows you to focus on coursework in your major once you get to Stevenson, provides you with more flexibility in course scheduling, and helps ensure timely completion of your bachelor’s degree. Please contact the Admissions Office to discuss how this block transfer option could benefit you. Stevenson also participates in the Articulation System for Maryland Colleges and Universities (
ARTSYS
), which allows students in Maryland community colleges to determine how individual courses transfer to Stevenson and to look at recommended transfer plans. Community college students should also work with their transfer counselors to help select classes that will optimize credit transfer. If a student is completing a degree not listed above, they can contact the Transfer Admissions office to learn how credits are transfered after they have completed their application and submitted official transcripts from all colleges or universities attended.
Stevenson maintains numerous articulation agreements with local community colleges to maximize the number of transfer credits that will be accepted, and the Registrar’s Office uses these agreements to evaluate transcripts.
Stevenson University will accept up to 70 credits from 2-year institutions.
Up to 90 credits can be applied to degree requirements from a combination of 2-year institutions, 4-year institutions, and non-direct classroom instruction (including CLEP, AP, and other nationally recognized standardized examination scores).
Program courses and credits completed with a grade of “C” or better and general education credits completed with a grade of “D” or better at regionally-accredited institutions are transferable to Stevenson, although developmental/remedial, personal development, and orientation courses do not transfer.
Students must earn a minimum of 120 credits for a bachelor’s degree; last 30 of these credits must be completed at Stevenson.
Regardless of the number of transfer credits accepted, students must complete the academic program requirements as shown in the Catalog.
NOTE: The transferability of credits from an institution that is not accredited by a regional accreditation agency may be considered if the student provides documentation that demonstrates equivalency regarding course information, and learning outcomes.
