degree. The students then continue with the Campbell Law curriculum and are awarded the Juris Doctor degree upon completion of all requirements. The students complete the requirements for both degrees on an accelerated schedule. The details of the agreement and more information are available by contacting the Registrar.
Transfer Credit Review Upon admission to William Peace University, transfer students will have their official transcripts evaluated by the Office of the Registrar in consultation with faculty in the discipline. Courses for transfer credit will be evaluated according to the following guidelines unless a transfer articulation agreement exists with the transferring institution: 1.
Only official transcripts issued by the external institution will be evaluated for transfer credit. Unofficial transcripts are not reviewed. 2. The maximum number of credit hours allowed for transfer from accredited higher education institutions is 90 semester hours. 3. Thirty (30) of the last 36 credit hours of the baccalaureate degree must be earned at William Peace University. 4. Transfer credit applied to a student’s record does not impact the WPU GPA. 5. Transfer credit is not awarded for developmental coursework. 6. Courses taken at accredited higher education institutions where a grade of “C-” or better was earned will be accepted for transfer credit, provided the course or courses are similar to those offered at WPU and are applicable to a WPU degree program. 7. Courses taken at a Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) institution, with a grade of “C-,” or better will be accepted provided they contain academic content and are approved by the Office of the Registrar. 8. ACE (American Council on Education) certified credits may be accepted pending approval of the Office of the Registrar, including military credit. WPU does accept credit earned at Military Service Schools and Military Examination Credits (DANTES). WPU follows the recommendations of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) as to appropriate credit to be awarded for formal service school courses in the armed services certified by ACE. WPU also accepts and individually evaluates course credits earned through examination utilizing DANTES (Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Educational Support Program previously called the United States Armed Forces Institute). WPU permits the awarding of credit for PEH 100 with submission of a DD-214. 9. College Board Advanced Placement Examination (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB): AP and IB credit for college-level work done in high school is available on the basis of the Advanced Placement Examination of the College Board and International Baccalaureate subject tests. Students who submit AP or IB exam scores, with the required minimum score applicable for credit, earn credit toward the 120 hours needed for graduation. In most areas, AP exam scores of 3 or greater will be granted credit. IB scores of 4 or greater will receive credit in select areas of study. Charts of equivalencies are available below and in the Office of the Registrar. Students are permitted to take courses at WPU for which they received AP or IB credits by contacting the Office of the Registrar. Students would then lose the AP or IB credit. 10. College Level Examination Program (CLEP) WPU recognizes the general examinations of the CLEP and selected subject examinations. WPU will award credit toward graduation when a student achieves a 50% or better score on approved CLEP examinations. CLEP Examinations are at the cost of the student and not covered by WPU. Charts of equivalencies are available below and in the Office of the Registrar.
