Transfer of Credit

If you previously attended another accredited college and earned credit as an undergraduate student, you may be eligible to transfer these hours into your program at CALS.

Submit your official college transcript to your Admissions Representative for evaluation. The Director of Education will determine which classes are transferable and award credit for those courses:

in which the student has received a grade of “C–” or higher
which are course requirements for the program in which they are enrolled
which are being transferred from an institution that is accredited by an accrediting association recognized by the Department of Education.

Keep in mind that a maximum of 12 semester hours of legal specialty courses may be transferred into the Paralegal Certificate program. Legal specialty courses are courses that (1) cover substantive law or legal procedures or process, (2) have been developed for paralegals, and (3) emphasize practical paralegal skills.

A minimum of 40% of the program’s total credit hours must be earned at CALS for degree programs. Also note that while CALS may transfer credit for academic courses, we do not provide for transfer of credit for non-paralegal course work or licensing examinations for other occupations.

Due to the specialized nature of all programs offered at CALS, transferability of credit to other institutions may be limited.
