Transfer Credits
Students can transfer up to six credits, subject to approval by department faculty. Evaluations are completed upon acceptance into the program by the Wake Forest University Office of Admissions. Additionally, students must submit a syllabus for the course(s) they want to transfer in. Official transcripts are required prior to registration. Courses can be submitted for transfer credit consideration only if the student received a grade of B or higher.
Please be aware that taking fewer than 4.5 hours in a semester (which is what happens when you receive transfer credit for one of the scheduled courses) may lower your eligibility for financial aid.
