AVILA UNIVERSITY 62 fer credit practices directory published by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers. Transfer Policies Only courses from institutions holding accreditation from one of the regional associations of the Higher Learning Commission will be directly transferred.  (Regional Associations include Middle States, North Central, New England, Northwest, Southern and Western Associations of Colleges and Schools.)  A student wanting credit for unaccredited coursework may apply through one of the alternative credit processes (e.g., Credit for Prior Learning, Credit by Departmental Examination, CLEP). Course work from unaccredited institutions that has been granted credit at another accredited insti- tution will not be accepted as transfer credit at Avila University.   For students completing their first baccalaureate degree, all courses (except developmental) are tran- scripted and included in the career hours and grade point average.  Transfer courses which are con- sidered remedial or developmental will be transcripted but will not be included in the term or career hours or grade point average. Transfer credits earned at an institution awarding credit hours in a format other than semester hours will have that credit converted to semester hours on the Avila University transcript.   Credits earned more than 15 years ago will be accepted toward a degree but not toward major/minor requirements.  In some programs, some courses may need to be less than 10 years old to be accept- ed.  In some instances, exceptions are granted with written approval of the School/College Dean and the Office of Academic Affairs. Credit may be granted for work completed at a post-secondary level of a foreign institution.  For review, transcripts must be submitted translated into English. A student who has CLEP credit on another institution’s transcript and want that credit transferred must request an official copy of the test score(s) be sent to the Avila University Registrar.  Credit will be granted for those courses with scores meeting the Avila University criteria for CLEP exam- inations.  The student will not be charged any additional fees if CLEP is on a transcript from anoth- er accredited institution. Credit on another accredited institution’s transcript earned through an alternative means of credit at that institution (e.g., examination, credit for prior learning or experiential credit) will not be trans- ferred to Avila University.  The student may apply for credit through one of Avila University’s alter- native credit methods. Credits earned through transfer, prior learning credit military service, International Baccaleaureate (IB), Advanced Placement (AP), or College Level Examinations Program (CLEP) do not count as residential credit. Avila University does not have a limit in the number of transfer hours accepted.  Students transfer- ring credit from a two-year accredited institution must also complete at least 64 semester hours from a four-year accredited institution as part of the degree requirements.
