Transfer Students

To be admitted as a transfer student, an applicant must have been enroled in a college/university full time for at least one semester following high school graduation. Applicants should also have an overall grade point average of at least 2.5, and a grade of 'C' or better in each credited course and must arrange for each college to send an official transcript directly to the Director of Admissions, The College of The Bahamas. A high school transcript and standardised test scores may also be required.

Transfer of Credits

The College gives credit for relevant work done at another accredited institution. Application for transfer credits must be made as soon as possible following admission to The College, since transfer credits are not normally given after the first semester. Students must have an accumulated minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.00 and grades of 'C' or better in the courses for which they seek transfer credits.

COB uses the semester system and utilises the following credit 'conversion':

Quarter Hours	Semester Hour Equivalent
1	.6
2	1.3
3	2.0
4	2.6
5	3.3
6	4.0

Students will be considered for transfer credits after they have submitted the following to the Office of Admissions

a completed COB Application for Admission form;
an official transcript forwarded directly to the Director, Office of Admissions; and
a college catalogue covering their period of attendance and the official course outline for each course to be transferred.

Transfer credits will normally be awarded for courses for which there are COB equivalents.

Transfer credits will not be awarded for credits earned more than 10 years prior to the submission of the COB Application for Admission.

Courses for which transfer credits have not been approved are not eligible for course exemptions.

A maximum of 50% of the credits for any programme (COB or external) may be transferred.

A maximum of 50% of major area courses may be considered.

Students who have obtained an associate degree or bachelor degree from COB may be exempted from General Education requirements.

Students who have obtained an associate degree or bachelor degree from an institution recognised by COB may be exempted from General Education courses except for the foreign language, physical education/health/nutrition and computer literacy courses.

The Office of Admissions will notify the student and the Director of Records in writing of the decision regarding the transfer credits.

The Records Department will post a 'T' to the student's permanent record (transcript) for any transfer credits awarded.
