Transferring to Bucknell



1993/1994 Catalogue, pp. 248-249

All students applying for admission to Bucknell with advanced standing should submit an official transcript of all previous college work to the Director of Admissions. Transfer students are required to have a grade point average of 2.5 or better. Credit will be awarded for courses that can be counted toward the requirements for graduation, ONLY if they are comparable to courses given at Bucknell, and if a grade of C or better was earned. (A course with grade of a C- or below will not be accepted for transfer credit.) Credit is not granted for Pass/Fail grades or audits.

All applications and credentials must be received by April 1 from transfer candidates who wish to begin their studies in the fall semester, or by December 1, for the spring semester.

Students will not be admitted to the University as candidates for a bachelor's degree if they have earned more than 80 semester hours elsewhere. This maximum credit limitation includes credits earned through Advanced Placement Tests and subject College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests of the College Board. For transfer purposes, one Bucknell course credit is equivalent to four semester hours of work.

To satisfy Bucknell's graduation requirements, undergraduates in the College of Arts and Sciences must complete a minimum of 12 course credits at Bucknell and, in the College of Engineering, a minimum of 13. In addition, a minimum of two semesters in residence during the junior and senior years is required. Both the first semester after matriculation and the final semester before graduation must be in residence.
