UNDERGRADUATE POLICIES
Professional Training Transfer credit may be awarded for courses or professional training offered through business and industry. For example, the University awards transfer credit for courses taken through the American Institute of Banking (AIB) or the Life Office Management Association (LOMA). Such credit will be awarded based on the recommendations found in The National Guide to Educational Credit for Training Programs (published by the American Council on Education), or The Directory of the National Program on Noncollegiate Sponsored Instruction. Official transcripts or original certificates of completion must be submitted for evaluation. Nontraditional certificates may also be reviewed for consideration of credit. In addition to official transcripts or original certificates, the student must provide their Academic Advisor with a syllabus or workbook for the course, evidence of a test and the amount of time spent in class.
Military Training Transfer credit also is awarded for courses taken in the armed services. Such credit will be awarded based on the recommendations found in the Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services. Original military certificates and appropriate military records must be submitted before military credit can be evaluated. Students who are, or have been, in the military will need to submit the following paperwork for possible transfer credit:
• The Army/ACE Registry Transcript System (AARTS) is available for regular Army, Army National Guard or Army Reserve enlisted service members with a Basic Active Service Date (BASD) on or after October 1, 1981.

• The Sailor/Marine ACE Registry Transcript (SMART) is available to active duty and reserve Sailors and Marines, Navy veterans who separated or retired after January 1975, and Marines who separated or retired on or after January 1, 1990.

Unacceptable Credit Coursework from institutions not regionally accredited or granted candidacy status, as outlined in “Acceptable Credit” above, may not be transferable. Students with such coursework may pursue other methods for obtaining credit, such as proficiency examinations or portfolios (see “College Credit Alternatives”).
Transfer Deficiencies All courses at Franklin are offered on a semester credit hour basis (1 quarter hour = .67 semester hour). Students may be deficient in credit hour requirements and degree components, and may fill deficiencies in the following ways (A transfer deficiency occurs when a student transfers less than the required number of credit hours for each course):
• General Education core deficiencies of three hours or fewer may be met with General Education courses, Major Area electives, or University electives. Deficiencies of four hours or more must be met with General Education electives. (Effective for new students beginning Winter 2007)
• Business/Professional Core deficiencies may be met with Major Area electives or Business/ Professional Core equivalent credit.
• Major Area deficiencies must be met with Major Area electives.
• A student may be required to take additional University elective credits to complete the total credit hours required to earn a specific degree
Appeals Process A student disagreeing with the application of transfer credit by the receiving institution has the right to appeal the decision. To submit an appeal, see an Academic Advisor for guidelines and procedures. A course syllabus from the date in which the course was taken will most likely be required for an appeal regarding specific course credit. All decisions for appeals are granted by the Program Chair or Lead Faculty member.
Additional Guidelines • Students should review the acceptance and application of transfer credit with their Academic Advisor who may apply appropriate substitutions to major requirements in consultation with the appropriate Program Chair.
• Transfer students must meet Franklin University residency requirements (see “General Degree and Residency Requirements”).
