2024 Spring Transfer Course Request

Policies

  • Transfer courses require the prior written permission of AASC. All courses will be reviewed, regardless of mode of delivery, including core courses.
  • A maximum of 2 transfer courses may be taken away in Spring 2024 for students who are:
    • on approved personal Leave of Absence with the Dean of Undergraduate Studies AND a non-degree student at the Away institution.
    • on approved Deferral with Undergraduate Admission (Class of 2027 only) AND a non-degree student at the Away institution.
  • Residency requirement applies.
  • Currently matriculated students should contact the AASC Director to discuss whether taking spring courses at another institution would be permitted.
  • Full-time students should explore the Baltimore Student Exchange Program (BSEP).
  • A grade of C or better is required of all transfer courses. Courses that receive grades of C- or lower will not transfer.  For science courses that have separate course numbers for lecture and lab (example: CHEM 101, 3 credits; CHEM 101L, 1 credit), grades of C or higher must be earned in both lecture and lab.  If either the lecture or lab receives a grade of C- or lower, both lecture and lab will not transfer.  For science course that have only one course number for lecture and lab (example: CHEM 101, 4 credits), a grade of C or higher must be earned.  If the course receives a grade of C- or lower, it will not transfer and Loyola will not award partial credit for just the lecture or lab.
  • Transfer courses must be a minimum of 3 credits (semester hours), unless the course is a lab associated with a course. 
  • The diversityrequirement must be completed at Loyola.
  • Upper level major courses for the Bachelor of Business Administration and Bachelor of Science in Finance degrees may be taken at AACSB-accredited institutions.  If a student chooses to take an upper level major course at a non-AACSB-accredited institution, written permission of both the chair of the host department and the Academic Advising and Support Center are required prior to registration for the course. 
  • An official transcript from the transfer school must be requested by you immediately upon completion of the course in order to award transfer credit. Transcripts must be sent directly from the transfer school to AASC. Do not forward a transcript you personally receive to AASC.  Official transcripts should be sent to Maria Schwartz (the Recipient) at mschwartz2@loyola.edu or to Loyola University Maryland-Undergraduate Admission.  Official paper transcripts should be sent to Maria Schwartz, Academic Advising and Support Center, Maryland Hall 138, Loyola University Maryland, 4501 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21210.  Electronic transcripts are highly recommended and preferred.
