Applicants are considered for transfer to King College from other colleges and universities primarily on the basis of their previous college work. An application for admission as a transfer student is complete only after official transcripts from all institutions of higher education previously attended are received. Students with fewer than thirty semester hours (or the equivalent) are expected to follow the freshman entrance procedures described above and to show a cumulative grade point average on previous college work of 2.0/4.0 or better. Students who have previously earned a degree at another college or university will generally be considered as having met all of the King College Core Curriculum requirements except for the Common Experience courses that are required of all students or any other course specifically required by the major or minor. Students whose previous degree did not include:
Will have to satisfy any deficiencies to meet graduation requirements, and their former degree will not be recognized. Students who enter major programs with modified core requirements must meet those requirements. In addition, Common Experience courses, or any other course specifically required by the major or minor, would have to be taken to meet graduation requirements. All transfer students must meet the residency requirement of 48 King College credits. Students with thirty or more semester hours of credit will be evaluated solely on the basis of previous college work. Credits from previously attended colleges or universities will be evaluated based on institutional accreditation, level, content, quality, comparability, and degree of program relevance and those accepted will be applied to the new degree being sought, up to a maximum of 88 s.h. However, the College will grant semester hour equivalence only for transfer work of C- or better and only work with grades of C- or better will be applied toward graduation requirements.
Nursing majors are required to earn a C or better in natural science courses. Students in teacher licensing programs are required to earn a C or better in licensure content courses, including major and core, as well as all pre-professional and professional education classes.
