 Credit Evaluation
Transcripts are evaluated by the dean of the division that the student wishes to enter and also by the chairperson of the respective major. The total number of semester hours, or their equivalent, accepted for transfer credit is decided by the dean. All applicable coursework must have been completed with a grade of “C” or better. (All transfer credit decisions are subject to the discretion of the dean.)
A transfer student must successfully complete all the NU degree requirements either through course units completed at NU or those accepted in transfer. At least one-half of the academic requirements of the major must be completed at Niagara University.
There is no requirement for a minimum number of credit hours a student must complete before they can apply for transfer admission.
The philosophy and religious studies requirements for transfer students are based on the total number of credits accepted by the dean for transfer. The following chart indicates these requirements.
