*Only one minimum score is required.

Credits toward completion of a degree are accepted from regionally accredited colleges.

• VU will evaluate courses in which grades of C- or higher have been earned.
• If a transfer course is the same as a VU course, but the hours differ, VU may accept hours not applied to that course as an undistributed elective.
• The division dean may authorize a waiver of a required course when more than half of the hours of the course are being accepted as undistributed elective transfer hours.
• In addition to transfer credits, students may earn advanced placement through standardized testing.
• Transfer students may earn academic credit for service school courses and military science credits.

The criteria Vincennes University uses when accepting and applying transfer credit include:

• The similarity of the course content as determined by the academic department most knowledgeable about the technical content.
• How appropriate the incoming course will be in the student's major. A valid disciplinary course that has no specific Vincennes University course equivalent may be assigned undistributed elective credit in the appropriate department. Undistributed elective may apply to a major as an elective or as a major course requirement. A course may be equivalent to a Vincennes University course but it may not be applicable to the student's major.
• An on-going assessment of the success of students in subsequent courses that are related to the course being transferred to Vincennes University. This assessment becomes a measure of the quality of the incoming course.
• Vincennes University complies with guidelines of the Higher Education Transfer Alliance (HETA) which is a voluntary group organized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).

Vincennes University prioritizes a safe learning environment and requires all applicants to uphold this standard. Applicants with felony convictions must submit a completed Felony Charge Form for each conviction, including a personal statement and supporting documentation.

Admitted students found to have misrepresented their criminal history are subject to immediate dismissal.

Felony Application Deadlines:

• Fall Semester: July 15
• Spring Semester: December 1
• Summer Semester: May 1

Please be advised that felony charges may prevent a student from entering a degree program or from obtaining work in that field upon graduation. Even if a student's background check is cleared by the Admissions Office the student should have a conversation about the charges with his/her academic advisor, prior to beginning a degree program, to ensure the possibility of job placement after program completion.
