Transfer credit policy
Transfer students are urged to consult with the Dean of Academic Affairs and the Registrar regarding a request for transfer credits. The College accepts transfer credits, but not the grades from courses taken outside of Mater Ecclesiae College. Courses accepted for credit toward the degree must be substantially equivalent to Mater Ecclesiae College courses in content, duration, and rigor. Other courses which are not equivalent to Mater Ecclesiae College courses may be transferred for credit but not applied toward a degree program. A transfer student must complete at least one fourth of their undergraduate program at Mater Ecclesiae College to graduate with a Mater Ecclesiae College degree and must complete the advanced courses in the major at Mater Ecclesiae College.

Requirements for transfer credit:

  1. Courses were pursued at an accredited college or university
  2. Upon evaluation by the Dean of Academic Affairs with faculty in that course’s department, they have comparable content to the same courses offered by Mater Ecclesiae College.
  3. A grade of C (2.0) or better was earned in the individual course
