Transfer Students

Saint Joseph’s College also has several transfer agreements with other higher education institutions.

Saint Joseph’s College may grant transfer credit from hospital based schools. Transfer credit guidelines apply and official transcripts are required. If the school in question has closed, the State Department of Education in your state should have record of the current custodian of records for the school. Programs covered include Schools of Nursing, Radiologic Technology, Practical Nursing, and Anesthesiology. Saint Joseph’s College will also consider credit for graduates from Medical Technician Training, Midwifery Training, and Nurse Practitioner Training programs.

Military students and veterans wishing to transfer into one of our programs should check out our Military and Veterans page to learn more about specific transfer information.

Saint Joseph’s College will award credit for passing scores on challenge exams that fulfill degree program requirements. Saint Joseph’s College accepts ACE (American Council on Education) recommended credit from the following organizations:

• The College Board (CLEP): https://clep.collegeboard.org/exam
• DSST: http://getcollegecredit.com/testprep/#courses

Students may receive up to 30 undergraduate credits through challenge examinations. Students should consult with their academic advisor to inquire about challenge exams that meet Saint Joseph’s College degree program requirements. The Saint Joseph’s College CLEP identification number is 3764 and the DSST identification number is 8668.

Since 1973, National CCRS (formerly National PONSI) has been evaluating training and education programs offered outside of the traditional college classroom setting and translating them into college credit equivalencies. National CCRS coordinates teams of college faculty evaluators and subject matter experts to conduct extensive reviews of education and training programs offered by corporations, unions, religious organizations and proprietary schools. Over 1,500 Cooperating Colleges and Universities will consider granting actual college credit based on CCRS credit recommendations and in accordance with their own transfer policies. Saint Joseph’s College will award appropriate credit based on CCRS recommendations.

The College Credit Recommendation Service (CREDIT) helps adults obtain academic credit for formal courses and examinations taken outside college and university degree programs. For nearly 20 years, educational institutions have trusted CREDIT to provide reliable information to make credit award decisions. Through a rigorous and judicious process, credit recommendations are made for courses and examinations offered by all types of organizations, including business and industry, labor unions, professional and voluntary associations, schools, training suppliers, and government agencies. Saint Joseph’s College recognizes these recommendations and will award advanced standing credit when applicable.

Following the recommendation of the American Council on Education (ACE), the College will award credit for Advanced Placement grades of 3 or higher on any Advanced Placement Exam. To receive credit, an official grade report must be sent directly to Saint Joseph’s College. To request a grade report, send a letter with your name, gender, birth date, AP number or SS#, the year(s) you took the AP Exams, and the name, city, and state of the college(s) to receive your transcript. Send your request and a check made out to AP Exams ($15 for each transcript) to AP Exams, P.O. Box 6671, Princeton, NJ 08541-6671
