To receive credit for courses to be taken at other regionally accredited institutions after matriculation, students must obtain approval in advance from appropriate department chairs. Retroactive approval will not be given.

Off-campus course approval forms are available in adobe format or in the Office of the Registrar. Applications for approval of a course should be accompanied by the appropriate catalog description from that institution. After obtaining the appropriate signatures for approval of the course, the student must return the completed form to the Office of the Registrar. The form will then be reviewed for course credit transferability.

Transcripts of these approved courses must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar within six weeks after the completion of the course. It is the student's responsibility to have official transcripts sent directly by the institution to the Office of the Registrar. 

All approved courses transferred into Framingham State College after matriculation will be awarded Framingham course credit in an amount equal to the cumulative total number of semester hour credits transferred divided by four and rounded to the nearest whole number. For example, if students take three 3-credit courses, they will be awarded two Framingham State College course credits.

Transfer credit is given only for courses in which the student received a grade of C- or better. Courses must extend for at least a three-week period and meet a minimum of forty-five hours. Although credit is awarded for all approved transfer courses, the grades will not be recorded on the student's Framingham State College transcripts nor be counted in computing the quality point average.

Students may inquire further when seeking approval of courses to be taken at other institutions, and they will be notified of the total number of course credits they have earned from such courses whenever additional approved courses are transferred.
