General Information for Liberal Arts and Sciences
Advanced Placement/ International Baccalaureate Advanced Placement (AP) examinations for students who have taken designated AP courses in their secondary schools are offered by the College Board in the spring. A student achieving an AP score of three, four or five will receive credit for one course and advanced placement. Students who are taking International Baccalaureate (IB) courses and plan to take the IB diploma or IB examinations may have their higher-level examination results reviewed for course credit and/or advanced placement. Students must submit their official IB exam results, and higher-level exam results of four, five, six or seven will be reviewed by each department at Emmanuel College and entitle students to credit equivalent to at least one course.
Procedure for Transfer Students The transfer student is an important and valuable contributor to the Emmanuel College community. The College welcomes transfer applicants from junior and community colleges as well as from four-year institutions. Students wishing to transfer to Emmanuel College in the semesters beginning in September or January should contact the Admissions Office at 617-735-9715 or enroll@emmanuel.edu for transfer information and applications. Transfer applicants must submit: • A completed application form and $60 non-refundable application fee • An official final secondary school transcript • SAT or ACT results, if taken • An official transcript from each postsecondary institution attended, including grades from the most recent semester
Emmanuel College
• Two letters of reference, with at least one from a recent college professor or advisor • Course descriptions for each postsecondary institution attended for appropriate credit evaluation • An essay or graded writing sample The College has a transfer application deadline of April 1 for transfer students applying for fall admission, and an application deadline of December 1 for students applying for spring admission. Decisions are made after September 1 for spring applicants and after January 1 for fall applicants. Transfer students may transfer courses from regionally accredited institutions. No credit is given for courses below 2.0 (C). Transfer students are expected to fulfill the regular requirements for the degree and successfully complete half of their academic program, at least 64 credits, at Emmanuel College to receive an Emmanuel degree. Courses to be considered for transfer credit will only be reviewed once a student has been accepted. Since the official transcript determines placement and course selection, it is imperative that the transfer process be completed prior to registration. All official college/ university transcripts must be received prior to registration for any in-progress courses to be counted as transfer credit. International transfer students should refer to the section, “Procedure for International Students.”
