Approval to Take Courses at Other Institutions

(Currently enrolled students only)

All currently enrolled students wishing to transfer credit from other institutions to Elon should meet with Robin Straka before enrollment in the course. To prepare for the meeting, secure and complete the form " Request to Transfer Credit to Elon University," available in Alamance 102 or on-line.

Each course is evaluated on an individual basis and must be approved prior to registration in order to assure credit will be received. You may make an appointment either by coming to the Registrar?s Office, located in Alamance 102, or calling (336) 278-6677.

Procedure for completing request form.

1. Determine which course or graduation requirement you would like to fulfill. Review the Academic catalog and consult your advisor if you need assistance.

2. Select the college or university at which you would like to take courses (this is the host institution). The institution must be accredited by a regional accrediting agency that is recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education.

3. Review the schedule of classes for the semester you wish to attend and select the course(s) you would like to take.

4. Get a copy of the course description for each course you would like to take. Most colleges and universities have this information available on their Web sites.

5. Fill out the form "Request to Transfer Credit to Elon University" available in Alamance 102 or on-line. Be sure to complete the form, including the specific information on the Elon requirement you are hoping to satisfy.

6. Meet with your advisor to review your request. Your advisor must review and sign your request before meeting with the Assistant Registrar. Use this meeting to make sure your course selection is appropriate for your educational goals and graduation requirements.

7. Schedule an appointment with Robin Straka, Assistant Registrar. Bring the request form,completed and signed by both you and your advisor, to the meeting.

The following guidelines apply to all requests.

A. Semester or credit hours will transfer as awarded by the host institution (3 hours will transfer as 3 hours). Students transferring three credit hour courses should consult with their advisors or Academic Advising to make sure they will be able to meet the semester hour requirements in the affected program area.

B. Grades do not transfer from other institutions, only the credit hours transfer. Therefore, courses taken at other institutions will not affect your GPA or replace grades previously taken at Elon.

Questions may be directed to Robin Straka, Assistant Registrar for Course Scheduling and Credit Evaluation, (336) 278-6677.
