Transfer Policy & Procedures

Transfer applicants should follow the standard admis­sions procedures found above, in addition to sending transcripts of all college-level work. Transfer students seeking admission to the AIC are eligible to apply if they have achieved an overall college average of at least 2.0 GPA or its equivalent and are in good academic standing; exceptional instances are considered on a case-by-case basis. Applicants with an Associate of Arts degree from an accredited junior or community college, or with more than 36 semester hour credits from another college or university, may not need to complete all of AIC’s General Education Core requirements. This will be worked out on a case-by-case basis. Transfer stu­dents are admitted at the beginning of each semester. Due to the nature of some of the courses in Islamic Stud­ies, students from non-accredited institutions specializ­ing in Islamic religious instruction may be given credit for specific subjects based on transcripts and passing of equivalency exams administered by AIC.

Students may transfer credits from other universities/colleges to AIC if the credit satisfies AIC’s Transfer Credit Policy.

The General Education Coordinator assesses the credit transfer request by obtaining the course number, course title, course description, number of credits, course syllabus, and grade achieved, from the student. The information must be from the college she/he is transferring. The Credit Transfer Request form can be obtained from the Registrar or downloaded from the website, http://www.aicusa.edu/office-of-student-services/.

Additionally, the advisor may request that the student sit for an exam or test if more information is needed prior to accepting the course for transfer credit.

Undergraduate students:
AIC will accept baccalaureate transfer credit from fully accredited US colleges/universities and college-level course credit earned at a fully accredited, 2-year US institution.

Only courses with a grade of C or higher will apply to the student’s major.

If a student repeated a course, then the most recent grade will be used for credit review.

All credit taken at foreign institutions will be subject to review. A course-by-course evaluation would need to be done by Foreign Credential Evaluators approved by AIC. Students will also be required to submit the course description (translated into English). Syllabi may be requested. Credits taken elsewhere do not contribute to the official College grade point average.

Transferable courses or test credit (e.g. AP) may be applied to the general education requirements and/or to the program requirements. The academic advisor or faculty will conduct a review of the test credit. Transferable credit or test credits may be applied as an elective, if accepted.

All transfer credit taken at another institution while concurrently enrolled at AIC is subject to approval. Students must get written approval from the Registrar’s Office prior to enrolling.

Credit by examination may be accepted after review.

Students must take 60 hours of instruction at AIC to earn their bachelors degree from AIC.

Graduate students:
AIC will accept graduate transfer credit from fully accredited US colleges/universities and college-level course credit earned at a fully accredited, baccalaureate US institution.

Only courses with a grade of B- or higher will apply to the student’s major.

If a student repeated a course, then the most recent grade will be used for credit review.

All credit taken at foreign institutions will undergo a similar review. A course-by-course evaluation would need to be done by Foreign Credential Evaluators approved by AIC. Students will also be required to submit the course description (translated into English). Syllabi may be requested.

Transferable courses or test credit (e.g. Language course) may be applied to the program requirements. The academic advisor or faculty will conduct a review of the test credit. If a transferable course or test credit is deemed no longer current, the student may be required to repeat the course or test credit course equivalent in order to complete the degree. Other transferable courses or test credits may be applied as program electives.

Courses taken at another institution while concurrently enrolled at AIC, must be approved prior to transferring the credit to AIC.

Credit by examination may be accepted after review.

Courses Not Accepted for Evaluation:

  • Courses from a trade school.
  • Remedial courses in reading and math.
