Accepted Courses

Credit is granted for academic courses substantially equivalent to those offered at Thomas More College.

A student's major department determines whether credit applicable to departmental requirements will be accepted in transfer. The transfer of credit awarded for prior experiential learning by any post-secondary institution of higher education will be considered on an individual basis in consultation with the appropriate department(s) and consistently with RECALL guidelines after a review of the student's portfolio.

Generally, credits for courses of a vocational or technical nature are not acceptable.

Transfer students with 24 or more semester hours of transferable credit and an overall GPA of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale are automatically admitted. Transfer students with fewer than 24 transferable hours must meet criteria set forth under Freshman Admission.
