The Registrar’s Office evaluates credit earned at regionally accredited institutions and per departmental guidelines. To be eligible for credit consideration, final official sealed transcripts from all post-secondary institutions (college, university, technical, proprietary school, etc.) previously attended must be submitted. Awarding of transfer credit is on a course-by-course equivalence basis for all coursework in which grades of “C-” or above have been earned.
Transfer credit is only granted for credits that will apply to the student’s current degree program. If a student changes their major after initial matriculation, they should contact the Advising Office to determine if there needs to be a change in the amount of transfer credit that applies toward the degree. Please note that course grades from other institutions do not transfer, only credits do.
Sage has established transfer agreements and transfer course equivalencies with many colleges. New schools, programs and additional courses are always being added. Contact the Registrar’s Office or Advising Office for a more comprehensive list of all transfer courses accepted to date.

Program directors and department chairs have final authority on the awarding of transfer credits for coursework transferring in through their departments. Transfer credits from subject areas that are not offered at Sage may be evaluated by the appropriate College Dean’s office. In some cases, students may be asked to submit a course description and/or course syllabus to evaluate the Sage equivalency for the credit.
