Horizon University (HU) welcomes the transfer of course work from accredited institutions. Such institutions have been accredited by an agency that is, in turn, recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation or CHEA. To request this transfer, the student should
arrange for an official transcript (signed and sealed) to be mailed or faxed directly from the previous institution to HU’s Admissions Office.

Credit is evaluated on a course-for-course basis, requiring that course descriptions and credit values be comparable. Only work earned with a grade of “C” or higher is transferable for the undergraduate program, and a grade of “B” or higher is transferable for the graduate program.
Grades from transfer credits do not compute into the student’s HU GPA.

Transfer of credit may be possible from recognized but unaccredited institutions. The same procedures and requirements as previously noted apply. In addition, HU takes steps to ensure that course work taken from previous institutions is comparable to course work offered by HU. These steps include one or more of the following:

• Demonstration of achievement by means of comprehensive examinations.
• Review of syllabi, faculty credentials, grading standards, and other relevant learning resources at the sending institution.
• Analysis of historic experience regarding the success of transfers from the previous institution.

If a student wishes to apply transfer credit to his/her program, the transfer should be arranged immediately upon receiving a letter of acceptance, and before registering for courses at HU. Undergraduate and graduate students must complete at least 50 percent of the total credit
requirement at Horizon University.
