Academic Classifications

Matriculated Students: A matriculated student is one who is enrolled full- or part-time in a degree program; a nonmatriculated student is one who is not enrolled in a degree program.

Full-time Students: A full-time student must carry 12 to 15 credit hours a semester.

Part-time Students: A part-time student carries fewer than 12 credit hours a semester.

Transfer Students: All students will transfer in 60 credits from an associate degree nursing program.  Students may transfer in an additional 12 credits.  A total of 48 credits must be completed at Maria College to be eligible for graduation, regardless of the number of transfer credit presented at entrance.

Courses to be transferred must be comparable to courses offered by Maria College and must have been completed with a grade of C or better to be considered for transfer credit (at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale).  An official transcript must be submitted for transfer credit to be considered.

Foreign School Transfer Credit Evaluation: Students who have attended a postsecondary institution outside the United States and desire transfer credit, must submit an Comprehensive Course-by-Course Evaluation Report of their foreign school academic record from the World Education Service (WES).  Once Maria College has received the course-by-course evaluation report from WES, the College will review the report and grant appropriate transfer credit.
