Transfer Credits
Students applying to FIT must submit official transcripts from all previously attended colleges as part of the admissions application process. An official transcript is required from each institution attended before transfer credit will be awarded.
Transfer credit review presumes official transcript(s) from all colleges attended prior to applying to FIT have been submitted; therefore, once you enroll for a first term at FIT, transfer credit will not be considered from colleges that were not disclosed during the admissions application process.
The Registrar’s Office evaluates college-level liberal arts courses for possible transfer credit. Courses taken in a major or related area must be evaluated by the academic department.
A grade of C or better must be earned for approval of transfer credit. Transfer credit is assigned a grade of T and will not affect the FIT grade point average.

Transfer credit is also awarded through satisfactory scores of standardized national exams. An official score report (transcript) from the testing agency is required for awarding transfer credits. Credit will not be awarded from high school transcripts or unofficial transcripts.
