Two search options allow you to review transferability for current courses from Santiago Canyon College or view a list of all the approved equivalent courses for a specific Chapman course. WebAdvisor: Log on as a guest and select one of the two search options for Orange Campus Direct equivalencies are used for transfer courses that are equivalent to Chapman University courses and carry all of the same approvals for GE and major as the Chapman course. Other transfer equivalency codes are assigned to courses that do not equate to any Chapman course but may still be eligible for transfer and application towards degree requirements. If a course is determined non-transferable it is assigned the equivalency of TRAN-0TR Please note that some departments do not display equivalent courses because final transfer approval is pending audition, proficiency, or demonstrated knowledge for individual students prior to departmental approval of credit. [back to top] SECTION IV: Transfer Related Policies and Information General Transfer Policy 1. Only credit from regionally accredited institutions is evaluated for transferability. 2. Credit is given for baccalaureate courses in which a minimum grade of C- has been earned. CSU transferability does not guarantee transfer to Chapman. 3. Preparatory level, technical, vocational, professional, work experience and co-op credits are not accepted even if accepted as baccalaureate degree applicable at the home institution. 4. No internship credit is accepted in transfer unless by articulation agreement. 5. Independent study credit in transfer is not accepted. Submission of materials detailing the content studied may be submitted for credit consideration. CSU/IGETC Certification Full CSU or IGETC certification completed prior to matriculation satisfies the following GE requirements: All Shared Inquiry (Artistic, Quantitative, Natural Science, Social, Values/Ethical, Written. Global Study and Citizenship/Community Service of the Global Citizen Cluster Remaining GE requirements are eligible to be met by coursework included within certification or completed additionally include: Foreign Language (200 level or higher) Inter/Multidisciplinary Study (lower division credit only, must be directly equivalent to CU course) Additional Transfer Policy 1.

When planning coursework for transfer, you should concentrate on UC/CSU transferable courses that build on your high school record, satisfy general education and competency requirements and include preparation for the major.
Page 15 of 15 Close attention is paid to college-level writing courses in the admission review process, as well as to minimum math preparation and foreign language proficiency. Trends in grades and patterns of college attendance are considered. Our most successful transfer applicants have earned a cumulative grade point average of 2.75 or higher. Candidates must be in good standing and must be eligible to continue in the institution they are currently attending. Some majors, particularly those in the Dodge College, Athletic Training and Business Administration may require stronger records than the minimum 2.75 cumulative average generally required for admission consideration. Likewise, certain majors require that some prerequisite courses be completed prior to transferring. Our review process is selective and personal. We understand that transfer students come from a wide range of backgrounds. For more information visit us online. [back to top]
