Courses approved for transfer credit will be listed on the student’s Beacon College academic transcript. Grades earned in transfer credit courses will not be used in calculation of Beacon College grade point average (GPA). Post-Matriculation Transfer of Credit Policy Currently enrolled Beacon College students may complete coursework at institutions outside of Beacon College. The student should have any such course pre-approved for credit using the Pre-Approval of Transfer Credit Form . The student must take the form along with an official description of the course or program to the Registrar. The Registrar will evaluate the course based on the Transfer Credit Policy guidelines detailed above. If the course is approved, the student and Registrar will sign the form. Transfer courses cannot be used to delete a prior “D” or “F” grade from a student’s cumulative grade point average at Beacon College. Upon course completion, the student must request that an official transcript of completed coursework be sent to the Registrar’s Office at Beacon College. When the transcript is received, the credit will be applied automatically to the student’s Beacon College academic transcript, provided the student achieved a grade of C or better.

ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT Each degree-seeking student will be assisted by an assigned Academic Advisor in understanding and interpreting the College’s academic requirements for graduation and securing help with academic concerns or assistance with achieving life/career goals. DROP/ADD PERIOD During the first week of each semester, a student may drop or add a course without penalty. Any course dropped during this period will not be recorded on the student’s permanent academic record. Students may not add courses after the final Drop/Add date designated by the Academic Calendar. To drop or add courses, an Academic Course Drop/Add Form must be obtained by the student, signed by the student, instructor, and Academic Advisor, and then forwarded to the Office of the Registrar. Students should be advised that dropping a course may affect the anticipated graduation date. COURSE WITHDRAWAL POLICY Dropping a class after the one-week drop/add period has ended is considered a course withdrawal. A student cannot withdraw from a course later than three (3) weeks after midterm grades have been posted. Students withdrawing from a course will not be eligible for a refund of tuition and/or any associated course fees.
