Students can receive transfer credit as long as they meet all admissions criteria and their courses come from an accredited college or university. In addition, to be eligible to transfer, the course must have been completed with a letter grade of C or above. No more than 64 credit hours (60 credit hours for the School of Social Work) earned at the community college level can be applied toward the bachelor's degree at ÀÏ˾»ú¸£ÀûÍø.

Current students and new students who have confirmed their enrollment at the University,  contact the academic advising office at advising-madrid@slu.edu
