2026 Winter 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.
• Only 1 transfer course may be taken in any given winter. Residency requirement applies.
• The winter course must begin on/after December 11, 2025 and end by January 26, 2026. Please be aware that Loyola classes being on January 12, 2026 for the Spring 2026 semester.  Students are required to complete all of their Loyola coursework and attend all classes at Loyola during this overlap timeframe per the Dean of Undergraduate Studies. Students should consider carefully whether they should take a course based on the dates of the Winter Away course.
• 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 courses 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 two Diversity-Justice requirements 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 Loyola academic department and the Academic Advising and Support Center are required prior to registration for the course.
• In order to award transfer credit, you must send AASC an official transcript showing the final grade received in the transfer course(s). Official transcripts can be requested through the transfer school attended or through the National Student Clearinghouse. Transcripts must be sent directly from the Away school to Loyola University Maryland-Undergraduate Admission (the Recipient). Paper transcripts should be sent directly from the Away school in their sealed envelope to the 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.
