Transfer Credit Policy

• Minimum Grade:
  In all cases a student must have earned a grade of "C" or better in order to transfer a course (a "C-" is not transferable).
• Credits (Min/Max):
  There are limits to the amount of transfer work you can bring into the major. Of the 120 hours required for graduation, at least 60 must be earned in Wake Forest Programs.
