Grades & Credit Transfer

Students who take courses while on non-academic leave of absence are not guaranteed credit for such work, but may, upon their return, contact the Registrar’s Office regarding the credit approval process. For courses taken outside the U.S. while on non-academic leave, the Registrar’s Office will consult, if need be, with the Center for Global Initiatives to determine whether the host program or university is one that is ordinarily approved by the College. Final decisions regarding credit transfer rest with the Academic Administrative Board.

If you will be petitioning for credit after a non-academic leave, be sure to bring all your work back to MHC with you (papers, syllabi, reading lists, etc.). If there are further questions about the content or level of a course, these materials may be critical to decisions about credit transfer.
