Concordia College

RETROACTIVE CREDIT

Students receive retroactive credit for one previous foreign language course provided they obtain a grade of C- or above in any foreign language course (112 or higher) in which they enroll as a result of the placement exam.  If the course is an approved core course, students` receive retroactive credit for core.  If the course is not an approved core course, students receive one retroactive credit that counts toward graduation indicated by an "S" grade on their transcript.

Students are able to move from one class to another during the first week or so of classes if they find their placement was too high or too low and if there is space available.

MATHEMATICS

Students who wish to take a placement exam should be referred to the Mathematics Department.

TRANSFER CREDITS

Often students with transfer credit (earned while attending another college or university—including participation in PSEO Program) do not realize that an official transcript from each institution that they attended must be submitted in order for credit to be entered on their permanent transcript at Concordia.

If an advisee has transfer credit, please ask the advisee if he/she has sent an official transcript to the Concordia Registrar’s Office.  The student must send an official transcript from a regionally accredited college/university where he/she received academic credit.  Please Note:  The high school transcript will not be used.  Once the official transcript is received in the Registrar’s Office, an evaluation of the coursework will be conducted and transfer credit will be awarded accordingly.  Students should check with the Registrar’s Office to determine the status of all transfer credit that has been submitted.

If transfer credit is not found in a student’s advising file, please register the student for the beginning level course.  If  change in course selection is warranted after the evaluation of the student’s official transcript, the Registrar’s Office staff will make the necessary changes.
