proposed institution of study is accredited by one of the six
regional accrediting agencies of the United States and must offer
courses equivalent to those at Johnson C. Smith University.
Approval is secured from instructors, advisors, and chairs of the
departments at Johnson C. Smith by completing a
Transfer Credit Form
PRIOR to taking the course. When the form has been
completed, the original is returned to the Registrar’s Office.
Elective credit may be received for certain courses which do not
correspond to any offered at Johnson C. Smith, provided approval
is first received from the appropriate Department Chair.

better are transferable. CREDIT FOR GRADES BELOW “C” WILL NOT BE
ACCEPTED. Where quarter hours are taken, they will be converted
at the rate of five quarter hours to equal three semester hours.

enrollment.
