Transfer Students
Students who transfer to Harding University should request an official transcript be sent to the University during the admissions process. After the admissions process has been completed and the student has been admitted, the Registrar’s Office will evaluate the transcript to award transfer credit.
To assist with the transcript evaluation, students should be aware that the previous college or university must be regionally accredited. Some courses will transfer as an equivalent to a Harding course while other courses may be transferred as an elective course. To check to see what is equivalent credit, students may click on course equivalency and follow the instructions through the Transfer Evaluation System (TES). Harding accepts most Liberal Arts courses from regionally-accredited schools. You may also send course descriptions to registrar@harding.edu to have the course reviewed.
Students who attended a non-accredited institution should be aware that these courses may not transfer. For these courses, the student will be required to submit course descriptions before the Registrar can complete the validation process.
After the evaluation has been completed, awarded credit will be recorded on the Harding University transcript. Students may view the accepted credit on their Harding transcript via their Pipeline account. Except for international schools, transfer credit will be calculated in the grade point average (GPA).
Transfer students with a low GPA who are admitted to the University will be placed in an academic warning status. Students with a low GPA are strongly encouraged to visit with the Academic Advising Center or with their assigned advisor to review their transcript. Courses with low grades may need to be repeated. Earning a higher grade in a repeated course may assist in raising the GPA and remove any warning or probation status. However, prior to repeating a course, students should consult with the office of financial aid if receiving financial aid, or with the VA certifying official if receive VA benefits.
Contact the Registrar’s Office at 279-4404 or email jhurd@harding.edu or registrar@harding.edu with questions regarding transfer of credit.
