Transfer of Credit
Students who have completed doctoral study in other programs may
transfer a maximum of six doctoral credits into any Alvernia
College Doctoral program. Transfer courses must be from an accredited
university or college and the student must have earned a minimum
grade of "B" to
receive transfer credit. The courses must be equivalent to appropriate
courses in the doctoral program at Alvernia College. Transferred
credits do not count towards the cumulative grade point average
at Alvernia College.
An official transcript indicating the grade received and a complete course description or syllabus must be forwarded to the Director of Doctoral Programs. After all the required information has been forwarded, transfer credits are reviewed and approved by the Director.
Semester Grades
At the end of each semester, grade reports are sent to students by the Registrar's
Office. Students with outstanding financial obligations do not receive their
grades until their accounts are cleared. The responsibility for identifying errors
on the grade report is that of the student. Any correction must be made by the
instructor and filed in the Registrar's Office. The deadline for corrections
is
21 calendar days after the grade reports are mailed. After that time, no changes
will be made on the student's
record.
Doctoral Program Grading Scale
At the completion of a course, each student is assigned one of the following letter symbols: A = 4.0; A- = 3.7; B+ = 3.3; B = 3.0; B- = 2.7; C = 2.0; Less than 2.7 = probation. The grade point average is obtained by dividing the total number of quality points achieved by the total number of credit hours attempted.
