Off-Campus Course Restrictions for GSC Students
Once students are admitted to Good Samaritan College, they are required to take the remainder of their coursework at the college. Off campus coursework for enrolled students is only approved in very limited situations where something is not available on campus and is required for progression.
Students who begin coursework at Good Samaritan College must meet the residency requirement of general education coursework for graduation. These requirements can be reviewed in the Requirements for Graduation Policy in Consumer Information.
Transfer Credit
Good Samaritan College acknowledges courses taken at other post-secondary institutions may qualify for transfer, but the college reserves the right to determine the acceptability of transfer credits in accord with its mission and goals. As a rule, the following guidelines are followed, but these are not all-inclusive when considering awarding transfer credit at Good Samaritan College:
- Courses taken at any post – secondary institution accredited by one of the six regional accrediting associations, provided the completed courses carry a grade of C (2.0) or better.
- Courses taken at a post-secondary institution of higher education not accredited by one of the six regional accrediting associations will be considered on an individual basis through course to course validation.
- Military credit will transfer if appropriate to the requirements of the curriculum plan for the program in which the student is enrolled.
- The time limit for courses eligible for transfer is 10 years. Exceptions can be made by the Registrar’s Office in consultation with appropriate department chairs
- Transfer credits do not carry a grade and are not included in the cumulative grade point average of the college.
- When a student waives their right to a transfer course, they are held accountable for the course taken at Good Samaritan College. If a failure results in that course, it must be repeated at Good Samaritan College.
- Upon enrollment students who wish to complete additional transfer work must get approval in advance from Dean of Academics using the Off Campus Course Approval paperwork.
RESTRICTIONS INCLUDE:
- Students are not ordinarily permitted to take courses elsewhere when space is available at GSC.
- Students approved to take courses off-campus will be required to take courses at institutions within the GC3 consortium.
- Students taking courses off-campus must be in good academic standing.
- Credits not pre-approved will not be considered for transfer.
