Note:
*FYE Freshman Seminar is required for all students entering with fewer than 30 credit hours.
However, based on the criteria listed below for transferrable college-level credits completed at a regionally-accredited degree-granting post-secondary institution,** the FYE 1001 requirement shall be deemed as waived or met. Rules related to Palm Beach Atlantic University’s current transfer credit policy noted in Academic Policies apply.
For transfers who have successfully completed:
- 30 or more transferrable credits OR
- Between 25 and 29 transferrable credits AND
- A closely equivalent FYE or College Success course with a grade of “C-” or above
For freshmen with hours who have successfully completed:
- Full-time status—a minimum of 12 semester credit hours—for at least one semester or term at an accredited** post-secondary institution AND
- Over 25 transferrable credit hours AND
- A closely equivalent FYE or College Success course with a grade of “C-” or above
** PBA’s 30 credit hour residency requirement applies to transfer credits completed at degree-granting postsecondary institutions solely with national accreditations recognized by the U.S. Department of Education at the time the coursework was completed. Upon the successful completion of 30 credit hours at PBA (with a 2.0 PBA cumulative GPA or higher), students must seek transfer credit validations for closely equivalent FYE or College Success courses in which a grade of “C-” or above has been earned. Please refer to PBA’s transfer credit policy noted in Academic Policies for further related details.
