Transfer of Credit Policy from Another Institution to The Art Institute of Charlotte

 In all cases, new students are responsible for informing their assistant Director of Admissions (ADA) and the Academic Coordinator during the application and enrollment process of any educational experiences they may have had which they feel could lead to advanced-standing credit at The Art Institute of Charlotte. Any documentation supporting the award of advanced- standing credit, including but not limited to copies of examination score reports, official copies of final college transcripts from other post-secondary institutions, or portfolios of outside work and any required supporting documentation, must be submitted to the Academic Coordinator, via the Assistant Director of Admissions, well in advance of registration for a student's first quarter at The Art Institute. No advanced-standing credit will be awarded later than the end of the fourth week of a student's first quarter. The Dean of Academic Affairs will award transfer credit based on an evaluation of the submitted transcripts. The Dean reserves the right to request additional information such as course descriptions and/or an academic catalog prior to rendering the evaluation. If such additional documentation is requested, It must be submitted prior to the week- four deadline. The Dean of Academic Affairs reserves the right to extend the deadline due to extenuating circumstances.
