Acceptance of Transfer Credits
Whitworth will accept undergraduate and graduate work in transfer from regionally accredited institutions. For institutions without regional accreditation, transfer of credit will be considered if the creditability of the institution can be supported by the "three-letter rule," which states that it is the responsibility of the student to provide three letters from regionally accredited institutions certifying that they will accept credit from the institution from which the student is seeking credit. A total of two-thirds credit will be awarded to non-regionally accredited Bible schools that hold an AABC accreditation.
- Maximum of 96 quarter (64 semester) credits accepted from any combination of regionally accredited two-year institutions.
- Every student must complete a minimum of 32 at Whitworth. 94 semester credits accepted from regionally accredited four-year institutions, or combination of two & four year institutions.
- Courses not accepted if: course was non-college level or vocational-technical, grade received was lower than a "C-," course was graded incomplete or "no credit," course repeated significant content from previously taken course.
- Credits will be accepted from Bible schools accredited by ABHE on a 2/3 basis providing grades meet the criteria stated in number 3 above.
- Courses meeting Whitworth's General Requirements for Graduation indicated by codes below on the Transfer Equivalency Guide.
AD=American Diversity ML=Modern Language
FA=Fine Arts NS=Natural Science
FW=Fitness/Wellness OC=Oral Communication
GP=Global Perspectives PE=PE Activity
HU=Humanities SS=Social Science
MA=Math & Statistics WC=Written Communication
- Courses taken at two-year institutions always transfer as lower division credit, but may fulfill upper-division major requirements if content is similar to a Whitworth offered course.
