After review of submitted official transcripts by the Director of Admissions, students will be given a "degree audit form" showing accepted transfer credits, and indicating other credits needed for graduation.  Generally, no credit will be given for courses with grades lower than "C."  This degree audit form will be periodically updated and a copy provided to each student.  It is the responsibility of the student to inform the Director of Admission of completion of any courses at other institutions or college credit examinations, and submit an official transcript for those courses or examination credits.
