Overview
Scripps accepts transfer credit for undergraduate liberal arts courses comparable to those offered at the undergraduate Claremont Colleges (e.g., art history, psychology, economics, anthropology, history, politics, literature, etc.) from regionally accredited colleges and universities (including community colleges), in which letter grades of C or better are earned. In other words, if the discipline is taught at the undergraduate Claremont Colleges, we can consider it for transfer credit.
What don鈥檛 we accept? Vocational and technical courses, graduate-level courses, and courses in disciplines such as business and marketing, animal husbandry, automotive repair, etc. (because those aren鈥檛 taught at the 5Cs).

Not for GE or pure elective credit, but if you intend to use the transfer credit toward your major or minor, you will need your major/minor adviser鈥檚 approval.
For some GE requirements, you鈥檒l need special approval. Natural science requires Keck faculty approval; race and ethnic studies and gender and women鈥檚 studies GE require a separate petition process. Those petitions can be found .
Semester credits: 4:1 ratio (4 semester credits=1.0 Scripps, 3 semester credits=.75 Scripps, etc.,); quarter credits: 6:1 ratio (6 quarter credits=1.0 Scripps, 5 quarter credits= .84 Scripps, etc.).
Transfer credit does not impact your Scripps GPA.
Semester credits: 4:1 ratio (4 semester credits=1.0 Scripps, 3 semester credits=.75 Scripps, etc.,); quarter credits: 6:1 ratio (6 quarter credits=1.0 Scripps, 5 quarter credits= .84 Scripps, etc.).
Three semester credits (or four quarter credits) is the minimum required to satisfy a degree requirement, but it will convert to less than 1.0 full course. Keep in mind that all requirements might be met, but you need at least 32.0 courses to graduate, not 31.75.
Up to 4.0 courses equivalent over the summer; up to 16.0 total allowed. Your final eight courses must be taken in residence while enrolled at Scripps; you can鈥檛 transfer in credit during your senior year because a student鈥檚 final 8 courses must be completed in residence.
Summer school at the 5Cs is considered resident credit and grades earned will factor into your Scripps GPA. We don鈥檛 do cross-registration during summer, so you鈥檒l need to apply directly through those schools, and the billing is separate, too.
Yes, summer courses offered through Scripps (and any other of the 5Cs) will satisfy any requirement they normally would during the academic year.
Yes, grades earned in summer school at the 5Cs will factor into your Scripps GPA.
After you鈥檝e completed the course(s), have an official transcript sent to the 澳门六合彩开奖现场直播 Office of the Registrar. We鈥檒l review the transcript and record transfer credit as appropriate.
We don鈥檛 maintain a list, but any regionally accredited college, university, or community college in the US can be considered for transfer credit.
Credit will not be transferred for courses in which you earn grades of C minus or lower. Letter grades A鈥揇 earned at any of the 5C鈥檚 summer school classes will be recorded as resident credit and factor into your GPA.
Scripps does not allow transfer credit during the academic year from schools outside the United States. Summer courses taken abroad can be considered via petition. Contact the Registrar for more information.
