Malone University welcomes transfer students. Every effort is made to correlate the work previously completed with the requirements for a degree here. Transfer students must provide the official transcript from each institution attended beyond high school. These records become the property of Malone University and are considered a part of the student’s official file and permanent record. Failure to report prior college or university attendance (including early admission) or to furnish official transcript(s) cancels all enrollment privileges.

1. Students with good records of scholarship and conduct in other accredited institutions must complete and return an application form with the non-refundable $20 application fee (waived for online application). 
2. Students under 21 years of age and with fewer than 30 semester credits of accredited transfer work must submit a high school transcript or GED scores along with college or university transcript(s). A student under 21 years of age and having fewer than 30 semester credits of accredited transfer work must submit results from the ACT or SAT in addition to a high school transcript or GED scores.
3. No student will be permitted to enroll until official transcripts have been received.
4. The average grade in courses allowed for transfer from each school must be 2.0 or higher (on a 4.0 scale). This means that for every grade of “D” accepted there must be another grade of at least “B” for an equal number of credits.
5. Courses accepted by transfer will be recorded with the course number, title, and credit value; no grade point value will appear on the record and no grade point average will be calculated for the coursework listed. However, the grade point average for all coursework in the major (including transfer courses) will be calculated. The grade point average of all college or university work attempted will be used to determine graduation honors. (For further clarification, see Graduation Honors below.)
6. To graduate, a student must complete at least 30 semester hours at Malone University. These 30 semester hours cannot in any part include credit for extra-collegiate learning or credit by examination. No rigid standard exists for the number of credits that can be transferred from regionally accredited two-year colleges, Bible colleges, liberal arts colleges, etc. The number of hours allowable may be different in each case, as determined by five variable considerations: (1) the kinds of courses presented; (2) the grades earned in each course; (3) the course of study pursued at Malone University; (4) the credit recommendations of the publication, “Transfer Credit Practices of Designated Educational Institutions” (pub., AACRAO); and (5) the academic record established at Malone during the first 15 semester hours of attendance.
7. All transfer credit is tentative until a student has successfully completed at least 15 semester hours with not less than a 2.0 gpa. Transfer credits will be posted to the student’s permanent record only after the above requirements are met. A transfer student admitted to Malone must apply for a major (upon completion of required tests). Prospective teachers must also apply for admission to teacher education.
