Enrollment Policies

Transferring General Education Credits

It is the intent of the Earlham Faculty that General Education courses are completed within the Earlham curriculum and that a student cannot transfer in an entire requirement area.

The importation of General Education credits by transfer students presents special difficulties, thus considerations, and this shall be left to the decision of the Registrar. However, the importation of outside credits by present students should be avoided whenever possible. This may occur only with the prior consent of the Committee on Academic Programs (CAP) on grounds of strong academic need and may in no case exceed eight semester hours of work. It also may not count for any of the first-year requirements (Interpretive Practices or Earlham Seminars).

Petitions for the senior year must be presented by April 1 of the student's junior year. CAP considers such petitions from seniors only if the senior fails a required General Education course. In that case, the senior may petition to have comparable work at another campus satisfy Earlham's requirement. Questions may be directed to the Registrar's Office.
