Articulation Agreements
An articulation agreement between institutions that coursework taken at one institute will transfer into the program of the other. For Seton Hill, there are transfer guides from Westmoreland County Community College and Community College of Allegheny County in which students can find out what classes will transfer.
CollegeTransfer.net
Students can refer to Academy One at www.CollegeTransfer.net to see how their college credits will transfer to Seton Hill.
Transfer Credits
Once admitted into Seton Hill University, all official college transcripts will be reviewed for transfer credit. Students will receive an official credit evaluation indicating which credits will transfer into Seton Hill. Credit will only be given for courses in which the student earned a C- or better.
There is not a limit on how many transfer credits can be accepted. However, students must complete a minimum of 48 Seton Hill credits to be considered for a baccalaureate degree. Also, at least half of the student's major courses and the last 30 credits must be taken at Seton Hill.
Types of transcripts
- Official transcripts are those sent directly to the university in a sealed envelope.
- Unofficial transcripts are those issued directly to a student or online. These are not considered as officials for enrollment purposes.
Note: typically colleges and high schools require your request for transcripts be in writing. Please feel free to use this form if needed.
Seton Hill requires OFFICIAL transcripts to be sent to count for enrollment. Please send to:
