Policy Changes
Language Study Abroad (November 1, 2021) (changes italicized)
Approved updated language to the language study abroad policy
“Language Study Abroad: Students studying abroad in a host culture whose primary language is not English are required to complete a language course of that culture, transferrable as a minimum of 3 W&L credits, during the period of their enrollment…”
Transfer of Credit (October 4, 2021)
Only work comparable to that at Washington and Lee in level, nature, and field may be accepted for degree credit. Credits for courses completed at another college or university accredited by one of the six regional accrediting agencies of the United States or an approved international institution, with a grade of C (2.0) or higher, as indicated by an official transcript received by the Office of the University Registrar, may be considered for transfer to Washington and Lee to be used as degree credit. Grades for these courses, however, will not be transferred, and a student’s cumulative grade-point average will include only work attempted at Washington and Lee. W&L does not award more credit for a course or program than that awarded by the host institution, as determined by the host’s official transcript.
For courses taken online, no credit will be awarded if the work was begun prior to initial matriculation at Washington and Lee. Up to two courses (6-8 credits) taken online after matriculation may be used for degree requirements only with the permission of the department or program head in the appropriate discipline or, if the discipline is not represented at Washington and Lee, from the appropriate Associate Dean of The College.
A student admitted as a transfer may receive no more than 60 credits for work transferred. Such credits are assigned by the appropriate department or program head (or designee) and the University Registrar at the discretion of the appropriate dean. Transfer students must complete at least six terms of full-time study at Washington and Lee prior to receiving a degree. (See Residency Requirement)
