PROGRAM POLICIES
Students wishing to transfer credits must complete the Sumner College Transfer Credit Request Form included in college the application. Submission of this form does not guarantee approval of transfer credit. Official transcripts must be received by Sumner Collegefor evaluation prior to the first day of class.
The transferability of credits you earn at Sumner College is at the complete discretion of an institution to which you may seek to trans-fer. Acceptance of the degree, diploma or certificate you earn in a program of study is also at the complete discretion of the institution to which you may seek to transfer. If credits, degree, diploma, or certificate that you earn at this institution are not accepted at the institution to which you seek to transfer, you may be required to repeat some or all of your coursework at that institution.For this reason, you should make certain that your attendance at this institution will meet your educational goals. This may include contacting an institution which you may seek transfer to after attending Sumner College to determine if your academic credits, degree, diploma, or certificate will transfer.
There are two types of accreditation in post secondary education: Regional Accreditation and National Accreditation.Regional accredita-tion is granted to an institution by one of six regional accrediting bodies recognized by the United States Department of Education depending on the institution’s location. Regionally accredited institutions tend to place a greater emphasis on academic research and services and less on specific student learning outcomes. National accreditation is granted to an institution by an agency recognized by the United States Department of Education and is focused on the educational process and student learning outcomes including place-ment, retention and licensure pass rates. Nationally accredited institutions predominantly offer career and/or technical programswith a strong emphasis on preparing students for careers and future success in their fields of study.
Sumner College is a nationally accredited institution and credits granted from our college will most likely not transfer to a regionally accredited institution unless the college has a pre-determined articulation or transfer credit agreement. The programs at SumnerCollege are designed to prepare students for a specific professional objective and are not intended to be a transfer program.The transfer of Sumner College credits to other schools is always at the discretion of the receiving school, generally dependent on comparability of curricula and may depend on comparability of accreditation. Sumner College cannot guarantee the transferabilityof credits and students intending to transfer to another institution should always check with that school.
Maximum transfer credit for all applicants wishing to transfer previous coursework is 25%. Final determination is the decisionof Sumner College.
Transfer credit will be evaluated by the Director of Education and submitted to the Registrar. The transferability of a course depends upon many factors, including but not limited to the scope of the course and content, date in which the course was completed, credit hours, and accreditation. If an applicant is accepted into the program and wishes to transfer credit, an official transcript must be received by the first day of class.
If an official transcript is not received by The College by the first day of class the student will not be awarded transfer credit.
Students should be aware actual degree requirements vary from institution. Transferability of credit is always the decision of the
school in which you wish to transfer, and is never within the control of the credit granting institution.
A r t i c u l a t i o n A g r e e m e n t s
The College has established articulation agreements with a number of schools to support the transferabilityof credits from Sumner College to other institutions.
