Transfer Credit for Distance Learning
No more than 12 hours of distance learning may be taken to fulfill degree requirements. The total maximum of distance learning and independent study is 16 hours.
The guidelines for accepting transfer credit are also used in evaluating distance learning courses taken at other accredited universities. Courses taken prior to entering Taylor University require approval by the Registrar. After enrolling at Taylor, students must complete a transfer credit course approval form signed by the student's academic advisor, course department chair and the Registrar prior to enrolling in the course. The major or minor department chair's signature may be required if the course is a major/minor requirement. Upon completion of the course, students should request their transcripts be sent directly to the Office of the Registrar at Taylor before the next enrollment period.
Courses taken through Taylor University Online (TU Online) require the completion of the TU Online course evaluation form and the approvals stated above. Grades earned affect the cumulative GPA. These online courses are not considered part of the academic load for enrollment verification or financial aid purposes. No student on institutional academic probation is permitted to register for courses through TU Online unless repeating a course. No academically suspended student may be enrolled in any Taylor courses, including those offered by TU Online. Candidates for graduation must complete all distance learning course work and exams and final grades submitted by the dates specified by the Registrar.
Students must complete TU Online course evaluation forms and obtain the approval signatures of the academic advisor and department chair(s) before submitting the form to the Office of the Registrar. After receiving approval confirmation from the Registrar, students will register for courses directly through TU Online.
