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

own institutional standards. Credit hours transferred are used toward fulfilling graduation

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).
