Trying to get ahead or make up for deficiencies? Whatever the reason for taking classes at another institution, proper planning and advisement will ensure that the courses you select will satisfy degree requirements at Nazareth. Review the guidelines and policies in the Undergraduate Catalog prior to selecting your classes. Be sure to discuss your choices with your advisor when you meet to discuss and plan your next semester schedule.
Follow one of these two procedures for getting approval for your transfer courses prior to registering for them:
a) Submit a Transfer Credit Approval Form signed by your academic advisor to Academic Advisement (Smyth 2 or advisement@naz.edu). After you submit the form, it will be reviewed by one of our transfer credit evaluators, and if any additional information or approvals are needed, they will let you know. In some cases, additional approval is required by the chairperson of the department in which the transfer course resides at Nazareth.
OR
b) Send an email to your academic advisor requesting approval for the transfer course(s) which you identified. For each transfer course that you plan to take, you must include the institution, course number, course title, and credit hours. Indicate the requirement that you are trying to fulfill at Nazareth for each course such as the specific Nazareth course number, PEQ area (e.g., history, mathematics), major/minor course, elective, or liberal arts elective. After your advisor approves the course(s), forward the full email string with course information and your advisor’s approval to advisement@naz.edu. One of our transfer credit evaluators will review your approval request, and if any additional information or approvals are needed, they will let you know. In some cases, additional approval is required by the chairperson of the department in which the transfer course resides at Nazareth.
After you have completed one of the two options above and one of our transfer credit evaluators has approved your request, register for the course(s) at the college where you plan to take the course(s). That college might require additional paperwork, transcripts, or placement testing.
Upon completion of the course(s), contact the Registration & Records Office at the college you attended and request an official transcript to be sent to the Registration and Records Office at Nazareth. Student grade reports and grade documents printed from websites are not official. Transfer courses are usually posted to Nazareth academic records within two days of receiving the official external transcript. You will get a confirmation by e-mail, or check NazNet Self-Service.
