Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) Academic Passport.

Millersville participates in the PASSHE Academic Passport program, which applies to students who transfer from Pennsylvania community colleges and other PASSHE institutions. Under Passport guidelines, students who have earned at least 12 transferable credits with a minimum 2.0 GPA (on a 4.0 scale) from another participating institution will be considered Passport students. A higher GPA will be required to enter some majors. Millersville will make every attempt to transfer previous course work into required general education or major program course requirements. Some courses may transfer as electives. Courses in which a grade of D was received at a participating institution may be transferable.

Harrisburg Area Community College (HACC)/Millersville University Dual Admission Program.

This is a dual advisement program designed to assist students who begin their studies at HACC and earn an associate degree prior to transferring to MU. Students apply to the HACC / MU dual admissions program through their HACC transfer center. The MU admissions office receives the student’s HACC transcript at the completion of each semester. A credit evaluation is provided and credits are entered into the student’s MU academic record. Students participating in the HACC/MU dual program are allowed access to a degree audit report to see how HACC credits apply towards an MU degree. Early in their final semester at HACC (prior to earning an associate degree) Millersville will formally admit participants to MU for the semester specified by the student when they entered the program. With special permission of both HACC and MU, students may enroll in a limited number of MU courses while pursuing the HACC degree.

Transfer Credit. Evaluation of credits from other institutions for possible transfer to Millersville is done by the admissions office after a student has applied and official college transcripts have been received. A preliminary credit evaluation is included with the admission letter sent to fulltime students. In general, transfer credit is awarded for college-level courses in fields of study offered at Millersville that were completed with a C- or higher on the campus of a regionally accredited institution. For institutions with other grading scales, courses in which the applicant has earned a grade above the lowest passing grade are accepted.

Transfer students who hold an associate degree from a Pennsylvania community college receive full credit for all work successfully completed except for remedial or developmental courses and Millersville competency requirements (English composition and public speaking) in which a grade of at least a C- is not earned. To earn a Millersville degree, transfer students are required to complete a minimum of 30 semester hours at Millersville, including 50 percent of their major department requirements (excluding student teaching). Students who have been awarded transfer credit for a particular course, and subsequently complete the same course at MU, forfeit the transfer credit.

Transfer credits are not used in computing Millersville GPAs.
