General Transfer Policy

Charleston Southern University will accept transfer credit from regionally accredited colleges and universities with grades of "C" or better.

Credit will be classified as being (1) equivalent to a current CSU course; or (2) acceptable as a major/minor elective; or (3) acceptable for Liberal Arts Core, or (4) acceptable as general elective credit only. No more than 30 semester credit hours may be accepted as general elective credit. The University will not accept non-credit courses or remedial courses as transfer credit.

Limitations have been set for the maximum number of transfer hours as outlined below:
