Transfer Policies
- Students are eligible to transfer coursework for which they received a grade of B- or greater (A- for MDiv students).
- Grades for transferred coursework (for which a student has received transfer credits) are not factored into the degree program’s cumulative GPA.
- Students are now allowed to register for a course that is the same or similar to a course for which they have received transfer credits. Students must apply for a cancellation of transfer credits to register for that course at CGST.
- Applicants who have been accepted into CGST for a degree program must submit an Application for Transfer of Credits before registering for their first semester.
