XIII. TRANSCRIPT EVALUATION PROCEDURE 1. Upon receipt of an official transcript the Registrar’s Office reviews the transcript to identify all courses which could possibly transfer. 2. A transfer credit worksheet is created listing all transferable courses and the course equivalent at Davis College. 3. The transfer credit worksheet is then used to fill in transferable credit to the student’s intended program at Davis. 4. All information is then entered into the Student Information System and forwarded to the admissions office and academic advisor as appropriate. 5. Copies of all worksheets and transcripts are maintained in the student’s permanent file. XIV. RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT The residency requirement is the amount of credits a transfer student must complete at Davis College while working toward program completion of a one-year certificate, an AAS degree, a three-year diploma, or a BRE degree. At least 30 credit hours of an AAS degree, three-year diploma, or BRE degree program must be taken in residence. At least 15 credit hours of a one-year program must be completed in residence. Courses taken online and as independent studies are considered resident if they are administered by Davis College. Graduates of PBTS/PBC/Davis College will be permitted to include up to 15 hours of transfer credit in the final 30 hours, provided at least 30 hours of total credit have previously been completed through Davis College. Only the Registrar or Academic Affairs Committee can make exceptions.
XV. PROFICIENCY EXAMS AND CREDIT BY ASSESSMENT Advanced Placement (AP)
Students who have taken an Advanced Placement (AP) course and passed the test with the required score of “3” or higher needed in one of the approved subject areas may submit official documentation for credit. AP course credit will be reported on the Davis College transcript under “Details of Transfer of Credit” as “AP” and will not be used in computing the student’s GPA.
Official documentation can be sent directly from the College Board. For directions on how to submit scores, please visit the College Board website at https://apscore.collegeboard.org/scores
