Goodwin College

East Hartford, CT 06108
How much time do I have to get my
official transcript from other colleges into Goodwin?
Students are strongly encouraged to request that their official
transcript from all other colleges they have attended be on file with the
Registrar’s Office by the end of their first semester (15 weeks).
How do I know what will transfer in
and what it will transfer in as?
Students should be aware that not all
college credits are transferable. Course credits are transferred when:
(1) the course has been taken at a regionally accredited, degree-granting
institution,
(2) the grade earned is a “C” or better, and
(3) the course is applicable to a degree program at Goodwin
In some instances a student may receive
credit based on their life experiences. Students should see their
Academic Advisor for additional information.
You will receive a letter from Goodwin
College once your credits have been evaluated. Once you receive the letter
make an appointment with your
advisor or
program director to
find out how the credits apply to your program. For greater details see the
Student Handbook.
