2. Transfer students with post-secondary degrees are not required to submit a high school transcript, with the exception of applicants to the Physical Therapist Assistant Program.
3. Courses with a grade of S (satisfactory) or P (pass) may be accepted, but are not counted in the grade point average.
4. Courses completed at other institutions with a grade of C or above are accepted for credit if applicable to the chosen program of study. Grades of C- or below are not eligible for transfer credit.
5. Art students must submit an appropriate art portfolio to support any letter grade they have earned.  Their portfolio must be accepted by the Art Department in order for that letter grade to transfer.
6. Transfer students must arrange for immunization records from previous institutions to be forwarded to the Health Services office.
7. Course work completed at Bryant and Stratton College will only be accepted from 2003-present.

Student Re-Admission Policy:

A re-admitted student is one who previously matriculated at the College, but has not applied for nor been granted a leave of absence. These students must complete a re-admittance application through the Admissions office, submit a formal letter of request, and if necessary, develop a defined action plan for success. Students may be required to participate in placement testing and submit both their Villa Maria College transcript as well as those from other collegiate institutions prior to being accepted for re-admittance. Re-admitted students follow the specific requirements defined by the program of study in effect when re-admitted to the College.
