Only 30 credits, or the equivalent of 30 Landmark credits, may be transferred to Landmark.

Upon acceptance to the College, the Office of the Registrar will conduct an initial review and may accept up to 15 transfer credits, or 16 credits in the case of 4 credit, Natural Science laboratory courses. Following enrollment, declaration of degree, and documentation of a graduation plan, the College will conduct a second review upon the request of the student to determine if additional transfer credits beyond 15 or 16, and up to 30, are applicable to a student's identified degree.

Students may take courses at other institutions for transfer to Landmark during their time at Landmark (usually during summer) with pre-approval from the Registrar’s Office, as long as the maximum of 30 transfer credits is not exceeded.

Transfer credits (credits granted by other institutions) do not affect a student’s Landmark GPA (grade point average). The course and credits are transferred, but the grade is not transferred. Transfer credits will be accepted only from accredited institutions.

AP (Advanced Placement) credits, with the exception of English courses, may be accepted with a grade of 3 or higher in the course(s) and with appropriate documentation (College Grade Report). IB (International Baccalaureate) credits, with the exception of English courses, may be accepted with a grade of 4 or higher in the course(s) and with appropriate documentation (official transcript).

No course graded lower than C- (or its equivalent) may be transferred to Landmark. No courses graded on a pass/fail basis, offered on a non-credit basis, or that are equivalent to non-credit courses at Landmark may be transferred. No remedial courses may be transferred to Landmark. No ESL (English as a Second Language) courses may be transferred.

No courses equivalent to EN1011 (College Composition and Rhetoric) or EN1021 (Research and Analysis) may be transferred*; all students are required to take their EN courses at Landmark because these courses serve as an introduction to our program, and contain many elements unique to Landmark that will be repeated, reinforced, and referred back to in later courses; these courses also do not transfer as electives at Landmark unless it can be clearly demonstrated that they are completely different from those at Landmark.

No courses equivalent to FY1001 (Foundations in Learning) or FY1011 (Perspectives in Learning) may be transferred**. No courses such as “Freshman Seminar,” “College Success,” or “Introduction to College,” or similar courses may be transferred. PE courses are not transferable.

Each institution’s course numbering system is different and courses must be evaluated based on course descriptions/syllabi to determine course level. For example, courses numbered at the 200/2000 level at other institutions are not automatically guaranteed to transfer at the 2000 level to Landmark.

*In the case of certain programs at Landmark College, these credits will be accepted for transfer at the discretion of the Office of Academic Affairs.

**In the case of certain programs at Landmark College, the requirements are waived at the discretion of the Office of Academic Affairs. These courses will be considered for transfer on a case-by-case basis.
