COLUMBIA core requirements, a list of equivalent

transferring without an A.A./A.S. degree

general education requirements as possible at

IAI Course Acceptance
-
Columbia terminated participation in the IAI in May 2007. Rest
assured that we will still evaluate transcripts course by course and give
full
transfer credit for IAI courses from other institutions pending the
successful completion of the course with a “C” grade or better.
-
Beginning with
students entering Columbia in Spring 2008, transfer
courses must be completed with a “C” grade or better. This includes
courses listed in various formal articulation agreements as well.
-
Columbia will
consider transfer credit in a major subject from certain
discipline-specific accredited institutions.
Maximum Credits Accepted
Columbia accepts a maximum of 88 credit hours in courses completed with a grade of
"C" or better
from other
regionally accredited colleges and universities. Transfer credit from any combination of
community college, Advanced Placement, CLEP, military and/or Life Experience is limited to a
maximum of 62 credit hours. If a student has attended both a four-year and a two-year college,
the maximum number of transfer credit hours accepted is 88. No more than 4 semester
hours of
Physical Education and no more than 9 semester hours of foreign language will be accepted.
Deadline for Transfer Credit Submission
The acceptance of transfer credit is at the sole discretion of the College. To be accepted, transfer
credit must be received by the Office of Transfer Evaluation before the end of the student's first
