How to evaluate your credits:

Once you’re accepted, your transcripts will be evaluated. We’ll do a course-by-course review to determine which credits will transfer. There are a couple of rules that we follow to award transfer credit:

  1. The course must have been taken at a regionally accredited institution.
  2. The course must be college level. Learning support classes are not considered.
  3. You must have earned a grade of “C” or better in the course.
  4. The course must be comparable to something Mercer University offers.

We’ll mail you a copy of the results and also notify your academic advisor.

Note: no more than 64 semester hours are transferable from regionally accredited two-year institutions and 96 semester hours total from all regionally accredited institutions.
