Academic transcripts from all college/universities previously attended will be evaluated for possible transfer credit to Jacksonville College according to the following guidelines:

1. The course must have been taken for college credit and must represent content and level of instruction resulting in student competencies at least equivalent to those of students enrolled in Jacksonville College degree programs.

2. The course must relate to one of the College’s academic credit curriculum areas; it must be relevant to the associate degree or junior college diploma at Jacksonville College.

3. Only college credit course grades of “C” or higher will be accepted for credit.

4. College “orientation” courses will not be accepted for credit.

5. The College sets no limit on the amount of hours that can be transferred in other than a maximum 15 semester hours of correspondence-type courses. However, all Jacksonville College graduation requirements are applicable to transfer-in credits.

After applying these criteria, all courses and grades evaluated, whether accepted for credit or not, will be shown on the Jacksonville College academic transcript. These courses will be included in calculation of the cumulative grade-point average. If a course has been repeated, it is considered only one time, using the higher grade, for grade-point average calculation and for total hours completed.

The Academic Dean shall inform the transfer student of the credit that will transfer no later than the end of the first semester enrolled at Jacksonville College.

Transfer students with a low grade-point average may be subject to Scholastic Probation or Enforced Scholastic Withdrawal policies (see "Academic Regulations and Information").

Non-immigrant alien students who are transferring from another U.S. institution to Jacksonville College must have completed at least one semester of work at the transfer institution and have permission of the transfer institution to relocate to Jacksonville College. Non-immigrant alien students who have an I-20 from Jacksonville College must enroll as full-time students (twelve semester hours or more) and must maintain this status throughout a fall or spring semester. Part-time students at Jacksonville College for a fall/spring semester must be enrolled full-time at their parent institution and have the permission of the parent institution to attend part-time at Jacksonville College.
