How Valpo Awards Transfer Credit
Valpo awards transfer credit on a course-by-course basis, with the following considerations:

- General Education Credits: Valpo applies credits that are the equivalent of existing Valpo courses to your general education requirement or as an elective.
- Credits from a Quarter System: Valpo generally counts three quarter hours as two semester hours of credit.
- Minimum Grades: Valpo will accept transfer credits with a minimum grade of C-. Grades are not transferable; only credits transfer.
- Maximum Age: Valpo accepts credits earned more than 15 years ago on a provisional basis. You must then complete 30 semester hours at Valpo with a minimum GPA of 2.0.
