Transfer Credit
For Continuing Students
Currently enrolled students may request transfer credit for courses taken at institutionally accredited institutions within the U.S.
To process transfer credit for these courses, Newcomb-Tulane College requires:
- A grade of C or better in each course.
- An official transcript issued to Tulane University (not a grade report or transcript issued to the student).
Credit for acceptable work is transferred in the amount recorded on the official transcript of the other institution. Credits earned on a pass/fail or satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis do not transfer unless the transcript states that P or S is equivalent to a grade of C or better. Grades are not transferred with the credits; therefore, a student cannot remedy a grade-point deficiency at Tulane by attending another institution.

For First-Year Students
Incoming first-year students planning to enroll in courses elsewhere during the summer before arriving at Tulane should consult with their college advisor. Courses must meet the guidelines below to be eligible for review. The approval of transfer credits goes through the Registrar's Transfer Hub. To get your courses reviewed for possible transfer, please visit the Transfer Hub.
Tulane may award up to fifteen credits for dual enrollment high school courses (those courses appearing on both the high school transcript and the transcript of the college/university) as long as the course(s) meet all other requirements for pre- matriculation:
- The courses were offered by an institutionally accredited institution
- The courses were listed in the official catalog of the institution from which the credit was earned
- A grade of C or better was earned in each course
Please note that some credits may be denied for applicability to a professional school’s major/minor degree requirements due to accreditation standards.
