Section IV: Transfer related policies

Section V: Admission Information for Transfer Students

 

SECTION I: General Education Requirements (4 parts + guidelines on double-counting)

 

Part 1: Freshman Foundations

This requirement is waived for transfer students and freshman who have completed a minimum of 15 credits of college work after high school.

SECTION III: Course Equivalencies

 

Chapman’s transfer course database lists courses reviewed for transferability and is available for search through WebAdvisor. Two search options allow you to review transferability for current courses from Santa Ana College or view a list of all the approved equivalent courses for a specific Chapman course.

 

WebAdvisor: Log on as a guest and select one of the two search options for Orange Campus

 

Direct equivalencies are used for transfer courses that are equivalent to Chapman University courses and carry all of the same approvals for GE and major as the Chapman course.

 

Other transfer equivalency codes are assigned to courses that do not equate to any Chapman course but may still be eligible for transfer and application towards degree requirements. If a course is determined non-transferable it is assigned the equivalency of TRAN-0TR

 

Please note that some departments do not display equivalent courses because final transfer approval is pending audition, proficiency, or demonstrated knowledge for individual students prior to departmental approval of credit.

SECTION IV: Transfer Related Policies and Information

 

General Transfer Policy

1. Only credit from regionally accredited institutions is evaluated for transferability.

2. Credit is given for baccalaureate courses in which a minimum grade of C- has been earned. CSU transferability does not guarantee transfer to Chapman.

3. Preparatory level, technical, vocational, professional, work experience and co-op credits are not accepted even if accepted as baccalaureate degree applicable at the home institution.

4. No internship credit is accepted in transfer unless by articulation agreement.

5. Independent study credit in transfer is not accepted. Submission of materials detailing the content studied may be submitted for credit consideration.

 

CSU/IGETC Certification

Full CSU or IGETC certification completed prior to matriculation satisfies the following GE requirements:

  • All Shared Inquiry (Artistic, Quantitative, Natural Science, Social, Values/Ethical, Written.
  • Global Study and Citizenship/Community Service of the Global Citizen Cluster

 

Remaining GE requirements are eligible to be met by coursework included within certification or completed additionally include:

  • Foreign Language (200 level or higher)
  • Inter/Multidisciplinary Study (lower division credit only, must be directly equivalent to CU course)

 

Additional Transfer Policy

1. A minimum grade of C- is required for all transfer credit. Courses not meeting the minimum grade are calculated into the overall GPA.

2. A maximum of 70 semester credits of community college credit will be applied toward the bachelor’s degree. Students may meet course requirements with credits beyond the 70 but the credits will not apply towards overall credits earned towards the degree. Credit is counted in GPA.

3. Chapman students may complete transfer credit concurrently but cannot exceed the course load policy as stated in the catalog.

4. A maximum of 32 credits may be earned through credit by exam

5. A maximum of 4 credits in physical activity courses and 12 credits in applied dramatic art and music ensembles will be counted towards the baccalaureate degree.

7. Students may complete GE requirements with Pass (P) grade. See department information in the Chapman Catalog regarding grading options for courses in the major.

8. Repeats: If a course is taken and repeated in transfer the higher grade and credit applies. If a course is taken in transfer and repeated at Chapman or vice versa both grades are calculated into GPA. Credit for only one course is applied to record.

9. Incompletes: Grades in progress or incomplete at the time of transfer are noted on the transfer record and should be resolved as early as possible.

SECTION V: Admission Information for Transfer Students

 

As a transfer student, you are considered for admission on the basis of coursework and grade point average at other accredited post-secondary institutions.

When planning coursework for transfer, you should concentrate on UC/CSU transferable courses that build on your high school record, satisfy general education and competency requirements and include preparation for the major.

Close attention is paid to college-level writing courses in the admission review process, as well as to minimum math preparation and foreign language proficiency.  

Trends in grades and patterns of college attendance are considered. 

Our most successful transfer applicants have earned a cumulative grade point average of 2.75 or higher. Candidates must be in good standing and must be eligible to continue in the institution they are currently attending.  Some majors, particularly those in the Dodge College, Athletic Training and Business Administration may require stronger records than the minimum 2.75 cumulative average generally required for admission consideration. Likewise, certain majors require that some prerequisite courses be completed prior to transferring.

Our review process is selective and personal. We understand that transfer students come from a wide range of backgrounds. For more information visit us online.
