after a student has attained junior standing, except that up to 9 hours of transient credit from a
two-year institution may be granted for courses that are below the LaGrange College 3000-level
(the 60 credit-hour limit still applies). A transfer student is not given credit toward graduation for
any grade of ―D‖ earned elsewhere. Transient work with a grade of "C-" or better is acceptable.
Academic averages are computed on work done only at LaGrange College.
CREDIT THROUGH UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES INSTITUTE AND SERVICE SCHOOLS
Courses taken through the United States Armed Forces Institute and other recognized military
educational programs are accepted in accordance with the policy governing transfer work
when presented on official transcripts from accredited institutions. Nine (9) semester hours of
elective credit will be allowed for military service credit, including USAFI correspondence
courses and military service school courses as recommended by the American Council on
Education. Academic credit for one activity course in physical education, up to a maximum of four,
will be awarded for each two months served in the Armed Forces. The maximum credit
possible, then, is thirteen (13) semester hours. The Registrar at LaGrange College in
LaGrange should be contacted in order to obtain appropriate credit. The telephone number
for the Registrar is 706-880-8024.
EXTENSION, CORRESPONDENCE, AND ONLINE COURSES
Any regularly enrolled LaGrange College student who desires to take coursework for transient
credit by extension, correspondence, or through online vendors must obtain prior approval in
writing from his or her academic advisor and from the Provost. Such extension or
correspondence credit (grades of "C-" or better) may not exceed six hours, and no credits earned
in this manner may be applied toward the fulfillment of courses with the subject code CORE or
ENGL 1101 or 1102. Courses taken by extension or correspondence must be completed with all
grades recorded before the end of the student's final term in order to graduate in that term.
LaGrange College may award credit for courses earned on-line, either transfer or transient
credit, or if they are from a regionally accredited institution.
TRANSIENT WORK
1. Students who have failed a course at LaGrange College may not take the course elsewhere.
2. Students who have earned a grade of ―D‖ in a course, which may be considered
unsatisfactory as defined by a student‘s major requirement, must have the approval of the
department chair in the student‘s major in order to take the course elsewhere.
3. Students may not take ENGL 1101 and 1102 as transient students elsewhere.
4. Students may not take any CORE designated courses as transient students elsewhere.
5. Grades earned for transient work are not included in the institutional grade point average.
