Notes on Transfer Credit: 

 

(1)  We generally accept transfer credit from regionally-accredited institutions. Our Registrar will evaluate your transcripts for transferable credit after you are accepted for admission. The Registrar will send you an e-mail detailing your transferable credit.    

(2)  Transfer credit is usually not granted from colleges that are not regionally accredited; however, if the credit evaluation received after you have been accepted shows that no credit was transferred from that college, you may request a course review for credit by that college's course syllabi and professor credentials for each course to be considered to our Registrar's office. 

(3)  We understand that your decision to transfer may be based on the number of your credits that may or may not transfer to North Georgia. If you wish to know which courses will transfer from your prior college(s) to North Georgia, please go to Course Transfer Equivalencies at North Georgia and select your college from the list. The site can assist you with determining how credit has been transferred to North Georgia in the past for other students. It is a guide only. If you still have questions after reviewing the equivalencies, contact Mrs. Chris Rodriguez-Smith in Cadet Admissions at 706 867-2924 or chrisrs@northgeorgia.edu.
 

(4)  If you have not completed 30 semester hours of transferable core curriculum work, you must have completed the approved College Preparatory Curriculum. Therefore, freshman admission criterion are also required. SAT and ACT scores from exams taken after you have graduated high school and attended a college cannot be used for admissions decisions. If you graduated from high school less than five years ago and have taken the equivalent of North Georgia's learning support courses at another college, you must complete 30 semester hours of transferable core curriculum beyond the learning support courses.

(5) If you have a transferable college GPA that is lower than 3.0, you must also have successfully completed the following two transferable courses at a regionally accredited college:

  • A course that is the equivalent to North Georgia's ENGL 1101 (English Composition I), with a grade of "C" or better
  • A mathematics course that is the equivalent of North Georgia's MATH 1101 (Introduction to Mathematical Models), MATH 1111 (College Algebra), MATH 1113 (Pre-calculus) or MATH 2450 (Calculus I), with a grade of "C"  or better 
 
(6)  All official international transcripts must have a foreign course-by-course credential evaluation by an independent evaluation service that is a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services, Inc. (NACES)in order for the courses to be considered for college credit. The evaluation must be sent directly from the agency to Cadet Admissions. A full list of NACES members are listed online at http://www.naces.org/members.htm. Education majors should be aware that the Georgia Professional Standards Commission (PSC) does not recognize evaluations from World Education Services (WES).  For more details on agencies accepted by the PSC, review the PSC web site at www.gapsc.com.
 

(7)  If you want to major in nursing, education, athletic training or exercise science , you need to complete a second online application for that program. Also, you should refer to your desired major for any additional requirements.

(8)  If you completed credit at another institution while under academic suspension or dismissal form North Georgia cannot be transferred to North Georgia for credit.
 
(9)  The amount of academic credit accepted for work done at another institution within a given period of time may not exceed the amount of credit that could have been earned at North Georgia during that time.
 
(10)  The total number of hours that you may earn toward a degree by either extension or correspondence courses shall not exceed 30 semester hours. 
 
(11)  If your last semester of enrollment in a college was five years or more ago, you may request an "academic renewal".  This will delete all previous college work and you will start over as if if you never attended college.
 
(12)  After you are accepted to North Georgia and pay your room deposit, your file goes to the Registrar’s office for a transfer credit evaluation.  The registrar will generate a copy of your new North Georgia transcript and mail it to you so that you can review the credit that had been posted. This academic transcript is also available to you on our student information system—Banner.  To view your transcript online, please login to your Banner account using your North Georgia ID number and PIN, and follow these links:  Student; Student Records; Academic Transcript.

Information about logging into Banner is available at the link below:  http://www.northgeorgia.edu/Registrar/Default_1col.aspx?id=5125

The Registrar’s office often receives questions from new transfer Cadets about how their credits can be used towards a degree at North Georgia.  We have another online tool called Degree Evaluation that’s available to assist with that question.  This online tool should be used as a discussion topic for you and your academic advisor.  Please know that these evaluations may only include credit from your initial evaluation, not coursework in progress or recently completed.  The evaluations are not foolproof and should not replace conversations with your advisor and others in your academic major’s department.

To access the Degree Evaluation area in Banner, follow these links from the Main Menu: Student; Student Records; Degree Evaluation.  To view previous evaluations generated by this office, your advisor or by you, follow the Previous Evaluations link.  To generate a new evaluation, click ‘What If Analysis’ and follow the directions on the screen.  Areas of your program of study will display showing the courses you’ve taken to satisfy that area or requirement.

This is an initial evaluation of your transfer credit as it may apply towards a degree at North Georgia.  A change in major and/or updated transfer credit received by the Registrar’s office may require that your degree evaluation be modified.  Approved course substitutions will also require that your degree evaluation be modified.  All of these adjustments and updates should be discussed with your academic advisor.  We anticipate that this tool will enable you to have better insight into our degree programs, enhance meetings with your advisor and perhaps keep you moving towards your degree.
