Outside-Credit Transfer

Students intending to transfer outside credits into the major and minors should abide by the following restrictions. Definition of outside is any course outside of ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥ or Haverford.

Major

  1. Substitution for the eight required courses (three intro plus four core plus thesis) with outside credit is not allowed.
  2. We accept a maximum of two outside credit substitutes for the four remaining electives required for major. This includes JYA.

Minors

  1. Substitution for any of the required courses (three intro plus one-or-two core) with outside credit is not allowed.
  2. We accept a maximum of one outside credit substitute for the electives required for minor. This includes JYA.

To complete an outside-credit transfer:

  • Meet with your major advisor to discuss course selections. 
  • Provide your major advisor a detailed syllabus for each course you intend to take outside of the Bi-Co and transfer into the major. These syllabi need to have enough details to show weekly topics and work load. Just a short course description does not suffice.
  • Obtain written approvals from your major advisor.
  • If you deviate from the approved courses in anyway, you must inform your major advisor.
  • Provide transcripts to your major advisor upon completion showing courses taken and grades earned.
