Courses from Other Institutions Transient at Another Institution

Coker students may request permission to take courses at another institution when they are not actively enrolled in courses at Coker, such as during summer breaks or while on official Leave of Absence from the University. Prior to enrolling in any course for which the student wishes to receive transfer credit, he or she must submit the Request to Take Courses Elsewhere form for approval. Students must provide a catalog description for each intended course, and must receive approval by the Office of the Provost. Approval will usually be based on the following guidelines:

Student will not be concurrently enrolled in courses at Coker University.
Student can demonstrate that denial of their request will severely compromise the student’s ability to fulfill degree requirements or meet other obligations to the University.
Student is not in their last 30 semester hours of coursework.
Standard transfer equivalencies will apply.

Upon completion of their coursework the student is responsible for having an official transcript sent to the Office of Academic Records in order to receive credit. Credit will only be awarded for courses in which the student earns a grade of C- or better.
