40 hours must be at the 300 or 400 level and a minimum of 30 hours with McKendree.
Students must fulfill the general education requirements.
Evaluation of Transfer Credit
McKendree University gives careful consideration to your previous coursework and will
transfer in as many credits as possible. A student transferring to McKendree, who
has received an associate's or bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution,
is considered to have met all general education requirements, provided the degree
is not considered vocational. Students who have met the Illinois Articulation Initiative
(IAI) general education core curriculum (GECC) will also be considered to have met
all general education requirements. For students who have completed a vocational
program or hold no prior degree, the courses are individually evaluated to determine
which are transferable and what requirements have been met. Transcripts will be evaluated
by the Office of Academic Records and the Division Chair of the department.
Official evaluations are completed once you have been admitted to McKendree University.
McKendree Online staff can provide you with an unofficial evaluation at your request. Please note the following:
-

Only courses with a letter grade of 'C' or better may be accepted in transfer. Pass/fail courses will not be accepted.
