Students who wish to receive credit at Sierra College for courses completed at an international institution must request and pay for an evaluation of their international transcript(s) by one of the following agencies:
The evaluation must include a course by course evaluation that determines semester unit value, grade, and lower/upper division status. In most cases, students are given elective credit only for lower division course work completed at international institutions. No credit is given for upper division courses. Students who wish to be granted credit for specific Sierra College general education/teaching skills or major courses must submit course descriptions in English with course substitution petitions.
Academic Calendar And Bell Schedule
International coursework from non-United States regionally accredited institutions cannot be used to meet California State University general education-wide requirements, intersegmental general education transfer curriculum requirements, and associate degree transfer requirements. Although international courses may be accepted by four-year universities, evaluation of such courses is independently determined by each transfer institution.
A veteran who has been on active duty one year or more and received an honorable discharge may request that 5 units of military training credit be applied toward the health education/physical education associate degree requirement. Credit has no bearing on the student's GPA and cannot transfer to a four-year university. To request credit, students must submit a copy of their DD-214 to an Admissions and Records office or the Veterans Resource Center. Students must submit an application for admission before military credit can be awarded.
Veterans receiving VA educational benefits through the Sierra College Veterans Resource Center must apply for military credit by the end of their second semester of enrollment, regardless of the number of units completed at Sierra.
Liberty University Academic Calendar
Official transcripts from United States regionally accredited institutions are evaluated for acceptance of all credit courses applicable to lower division degrees. Once an official transcript is received, it becomes the property of Sierra College. Qualifying transcripts will become part of the student's permanent academic record. Appropriate units and subject content will be applied to major and general education areas to meet Sierra College graduation requirements and may not be removed. When course repetition occurs, the most recent grade and credit earned from an accredited institution will be included in the calculation of the grade point average. Students should meet with a counselor to determine which courses fulfill Sierra College's degree and/or certificate requirements.
Transfer credit is also used to fulfill prerequisite requirements. To ensure timely and accurate posting of transfer courses, students should submit their signed official transcript(s) to a campus admissions and records office early in the application process. A transfer credit request should also be submitted.
High School Articulation is a planned process linking programs and services to assist students to make smooth transitions from secondary to postsecondary levels without experiencing delays or duplication of learning. High school articulation agreements have been developed with many area high schools and ROP programs that make it possible for students to receive college credit for specified courses once they have enrolled at Sierra College and completed other requirements of the agreement.
