Transfer student
A Transfer Student is one who has been enrolled as a full-time
student for at least one term at an accredited college or
university. Transfer Students are subject to all academic and
non-academic rules and regulations of the Institute. A student may
be admitted to Rose-Hulman as a Transfer Student provided that the
official transcripts of the work at other accredited institutions
clearly indicate that the student is in good academic standing and
has been accorded an honorable dismissal from the previous
institutions attended.
Procedure
A student who applies for admission as a Transfer Student may be
required to provide the catalogue descriptions and the title and
author of the text(s) used in each course for which Transfer
Credit is sought. The applicant's record and transcripts will
be examined by the Admissions Office, which will give the student a
preliminary evaluation of which courses are likely to transfer.
Evaluation of credits
Normally, a meeting for Transfer Students is held prior to the
beginning of the term to evaluate
Transfer Credits. Each course for which the student seeks
Transfer Credit will be evaluated in writing by the Head of the
Department (or designated representative) in which that course
would be offered or, if the course is one not normally offered at
Rose-Hulman, by the department most nearly related. This evaluation
will include a statement of the course(s) at Rose-Hulman for which
the Transfer Credit is acceptable. These evaluations will be
forwarded to the Registrar and become part of the student's
academic record. They will also be used by the student and the
advisor to formulate a proposed plan of study and a tentative date
of graduation.
