Evaluation of Transfer Credit
An evaluation of transfer credit will be completed by the Registrar who works in
conjunction with faculty to determine which courses will apply toward the student’s degree
program. A minimum of one-year enrollment (full or part-time) and the completion of 32
semester hours (including at least 12 hours within the major) is required for all degrees.
Bluefield College reserves the right to evaluate all transfer credits in terms of its

requirements. Quality point requirements for graduation are based only upon work
completed at Bluefield College. Please see the Transfer Credit section in the Academic
portion for additional transfer information (see p. 71).
