• GHC does not allow credit for work experience unless evaluated through the Credit for Prior Learning portfolio process.
• Courses will be assigned GHC course numbers if they are determined to be equivalent.
• Grades of D will be accepted if higher grades are transferred with which to average to a 2.00 GPA.

• Students who have completed one or more areas of the General Education requirements at a University System of Georgia (USG) school will have to meet the same areas at GHC.
• 1 Semester hour = 1.5 Quarter hours.
• A student should e-mail registrar@highlands.edu if courses are missing from the evaluation.
• To determine how transfer credit can be used in a particular program of study, students should meet with an advisor.
