SIMPLE CREDIT TRANSFER TRANSFERRING DOESN’T HAVE TO SET YOU BACK The thought of transferring credits can be stressful. Here at Mercyhurst, most of your credits from other accredited institutions may be eligible to transfer. In general, the credits you earned for courses in which you received a grade of “C” or higher will transfer to Mercyhurst. We will accept up to 60 credit hours from a community college and 80 credit hours from another four-year institution. The admissions transfer coordinator will carefully evaluate your transcripts to determine the number of credits that will transfer to Mercyhurst, and you will receive a preliminary evaluation of transfer credits with your acceptance letter.
