Clarion University of Pennsylvania 27 The primary objectives of the program are to help entering students make the transition from their previous environment to Clarion University and to enhance their success in college. In order to facilitate this adjustment and allow the students to pursue their education in the best possible manner, the curricular and co-curricular aspects of university life are experienced and explored in large and small groups. Students will have an opportunity to meet with faculty members and receive some academic advisement prior to selection of courses for Fall and Spring semesters. Registration forms and instructions for the New Student Orientation Program will be mailed during the Spring Semester prior to enrollment. Students entering in January also may attend orientation during the summer or the weekend prior to the beginning of the semester. Credit Transfer Policy Academic Passport Principles Clarion University affirms its commitment to maximize access to higher education for all Pennsylvanians through the Academic Passport to the State System of Higher Education. Community college students who have earned the Associate of Arts (A.A.) or the Associate of Science (A.S.) degree in a program containing a minimum of 30 credits of liberal arts courses, or State System university students, who transfer from one State System university to another with a 2.0 minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) in all course work and a minimum of 12 credit hours, shall be considered to have an academic passport which will allow them to transfer to any State System of Higher Education university It is understood that the academic passport does not guarantee admission into specific majors. Some academic programs may have additional requirements such as satisfactory scores on Praxis exams or a higher GPA. In the acceptance and application of credits for students holding an Academic Passport, the receiving university shall look first to apply as many credits as possible towards the satisfaction of lower division general education requirements. Next, the receiving university shall look towards applying any appropriate credits to satisfy requirements in the major. Last, credits may be applied to satisfy elective requirements. It is the intent of the passport that credits earned as part of a qualifying degree program at a community college or state system university should be accepted and applied towards completion for the baccalaureate degree. It is recognized that in certain circumstances, such as a change in major or specialized programs of study, it may not be possible to apply all transfer credits earned toward the four-year degree; however, absent legitimate academic reasons, the intent of this policy is to make full and complete use of credits earned in qualified A.A.. or A.S. degree programs. Transfer students shall not be required to repeat or retake courses that they have already successfully completed at another accredited institution. In accepting the academic passport, Clarion University shall follow these principles: 1. Clarion University will recognize and honor the Academic Passport by admitting qualified students and shall apply credit toward graduation for all equivalent college course work completed for the associate’s degree. 2. Students seeking to transfer to a State System university and who are admissible shall receive an evaluation of credits prior to enrollment and payment of tuition and fees. (Application fees may still be required.) 3. Transfer students who meet the conditions of published articulation agreements shall not be required to take a higher number of credits for the baccalaureate degree than indigenous students of the receiving institution. 4. Up to a maximum of 45 general education credits and liberal arts course credits shall be used to meet lower division general education requirements, even if the receiving university does not offer the specific course being transferred or has not designated that course appropriate for general education. A courseby-course match shall not be required. Academic Information
