Transfer Evaluation Procedures: -
        A transfer student is someone who has attended another college or university after graduating
from high school. Transfer students are welcome at Lynn University, and every effort is made to make the
transfer of credits and completion of the degree requirements as easy as possible.

         Applicants with fewer than 12 transferable credits will need to follow the application requirements
and submit the appropriate documents for first year students. Official transcripts from the candidate’s
current college and from all previous colleges/universities attended are required. High school transcripts
are not necessary if 12 or more transferable college credits have been successfully completed with a D- or
better. Once all records are received and reviewed, the university will notify applicants of their admission
status. Upon admission to Lynn University, students will receive an evaluation of transfer credits provided
by the Office of the Registrar.

         Transfer credit is awarded for courses successfully completed at a regionally accredited institution
or an institution whose accrediting organization is recognized by the Council for Higher Education
Accreditation (CHEA). To make the transition to Lynn University as smooth as possible a transfer student
may use the Transfer Evaluation System (TES) to locate courses that have been previously approved for
transfer from a college/university.

        Official transcripts from each institution attended must be submitted in order for the Office of the
Registrar to complete a formal transfer evaluation. Courses completed outside of the United States require
students to submit an official foreign credential evaluation and translation from a NACES (National
Association of Credential Evaluation Services) approved organization along with their official transcripts.
Each transfer evaluation is reviewed by the Office of the Registrar and/or appropriate college faculty.

        A course evaluated as equivalent to a Lynn course is accepted as that course. A course evaluated as
not equivalent is accepted as an elective. A course considered as a developmental level course will not be
accepted. If a preliminary evaluation is completed for a student based on an unofficial transcript, the
evaluation will not be considered final until official documents are received and reviewed for verification.

        Although credits transfer in from other institutions, grades do not. Transfer courses are listed on
the transcript with a grade of “T.” A student’s Lynn grade point average is based solely on courses
completed at Lynn University.

                                                                                                                1
