Transfer Credits

The College of Saint Elizabeth accepts in transfer only those courses in which a minimum grade of "C" has been received. Upon acceptance to CSE, your previous college record will be given a Credit Evaluation. This evaluation will indicate how many of your credits are accepted in transfer. The number of credits accepted will depend on your intended major and the number of credits applied toward that major. Generally, no more than 72 credits from another institution will be accepted toward the 128 credits required for the CSE degree.
