Transfer Student Admission

Endicott College offers a number of programs in its School of Education. Each program has specific course and credit requirements for each year of study. Transfer students should review those requirements as noted in the School of Education Academic Programs section of the Endicott Catalog and present a course syllabus for any courses which may satisfy those requirements and a transcript from the previous program for evaluation by the school dean.

A maximum of 85 credits may be transferred to Endicott. Twenty-four of the last 30 credits must be taken at Endicott to receive a degree. Students’ cumulative GPAs are determined only by courses taken at Endicott.

A student who seeks to transfer from another school into the Endicott School of Nursing must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better.

Transfer credit for science courses is awarded only if the course was completed with a “C” or better within seven years of matriculation at Endicott.

To request transfer credit for a nursing course taken at another institution, the applicant must present a course syllabus for each nursing course and a transcript from the previous program for evaluation by the Nursing Faculty Committee. The applicant may be required to take examination(s) to assess previous learning.

A maximum of 85 credits may be transferred to Endicott. One hundred twenty-six to 128 credits are required to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Twenty-four of the last 30 credits must be taken at Endicott to receive a degree. Students’ cumulative GPAs are determined only by courses taken at Endicott.

For bachelor’s degree programs, a maximum of 85 transfer credits from other accredited colleges may be applied to the Endicott bachelor’s degree provided the courses fit the curriculum of the major and the degree. Grades of “C” or better may be accepted, and no more than six credits may carry a “C-“grade. Official transcripts of previous college work, mailed directly to Endicott from colleges or universities, must be received to transfer credit to Endicott. Students must be matriculated before transfer credits can be added to the Endicott transcript.

If accepted, these credits may fulfill the requirements of: Fundamentals of Nursing (NU 210), Care of Adults (NU 211), Psychosocial Nursing (NU 316), Care of Childbearing Families (NU 313), Care of Children (NU 314), and Acute Care Nursing (NU 410).

Endicott participates in the Advanced Placement Program of the College Board. Course exemption and/or credit will be awarded to students presenting scores of 3 or higher on AP examinations except for math and science exams, which require a minimum score of 4. Detailed information for classes can be found here and at endicott.edu/registrar. Students should request that their scores be sent to the Office of Admission directly from the College Board (Code 3369). Once the scores have been evaluated, students will be notified of any advanced standing awarded.

Students may take advantage of the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and receive credit for certain courses. CLEP examinations cover material taught in courses that most students take as requirements in the first two years of college. Endicott will award the same amount of credit to students earning satisfactory scores on the CLEP examination to students successfully completing that course.
