Catalog - Virginia Intermont College

Admissions, Expenses & Financial Aid 20
The following regulations apply to transfer applicants:
Credit from non-regionally accredited collegiate institutions will not be granted.
Transfer credit is accepted on an individual basis after complete evaluation by the
Registrar. Credit for college level academic work completed at another regionally
accredited collegiate institution with a grade of “C” (2.00) or better may be
transferred if the course is appropriate to the curriculum of Virginia Intermont.
Grades for these courses, however, may not be transferred, and a student’s
cumulative grade point average is based solely on work attempted at Virginia
Intermont. All course work transferred for the purpose of satisfying degree
requirements, must meet the semester hour equivalency at Virginia Intermont
College. To ensure graduates have current computer skills, computer courses
must be taken within five years prior to enrollment at Virginia Intermont to satisfy
applicable computer class requirements.
