Credits for letter graded courses earned at regionally accredited institutions will transfer to Viterbo University. Courses in which a student has earned a grade of C or higher will be considered for transfer. A student may be required to repeat a transferred major or required support course where the grade requirement of the department or accrediting body is higher than a C. Individual schools or departments may also require that coursework in the major be current with academic and professional standards.

Courses of a remedial or pre-college nature will not be accepted for transfer, except when needed to meet other college-level course prerequisites.

Students enrolled at Viterbo University who wish to take a course at another institution, including study abroad, must obtain prior approval to insure the course will transfer to Viterbo University. The form for this approval is available in the registrar’s office or on the office’s Web page.

Students who transfer to Viterbo University with an earned baccalaureate or associates degree from a regionally accredited college or university will have the Foundation requirements of the core curriculum waived (unless required by the students’ major as a program requirement). A student with earned baccalaureate, A. A., or A. S. degree from a regionally accredited college or university will also have the Ways of Thinking requirements of the core curriculum waived, except the theological inquiry, integrating faith and practice, and philosophical and moral inquiry requirements (unless required by the students’ major as a program requirement). The baccalaureate or associates degree must be completed and earned prior to enrollment at Viterbo University.

Students who transfer to Viterbo University, into the BSN completion program, with a diploma from a three-year diploma nursing program will have the Foundation requirements of the core curriculum waived (unless required by the students’ major as a program requirement).

The Office of the Registrar will perform a transfer credit audit as part of the annual report to ensure transfer credit policies and guidelines are being met.

Viterbo University has transfer student articulation agreements with numerous institutions.  A full list is available on the Transfer Student Admission web page.

Graduate Program transfer policies can be found in the Graduate Catalog.
