NOTES TO CADET:
1) Attach to this form a marked up copy of the college catalog (or copies of the appropriate pages) showing the course(s) you wish to substitute for
VMI courses and submit to the appropriate department head for approval. NOTE: Only courses from regionally accredited institutions will
be accepted for transfer.
2) The original of the form may be requested by the college you plan to attend as proof of good standing and certification of transferability.
3) Request that an official transcript of your grade(s) be sent to the VMI Registrar’s Office, 303 Shell Hall, Lexington, VA 24450 when you have
completed the course(s). In order to transfer hours to VMI, a grade of "C" or better must be earned in the course (Pass/Fail will not be
accepted.) Grades are posted to the VMI record; however, quality points are NOT averaged into the VMI GPA.
4) Summer, winter session and internet course transfer credit is limited to 18 semester hours during your cadetship. If you plan to take these
courses during these periods, how many hours have you already transferred? _______
5) Approval of transfer credit does not automatically mean that the courses will improve your academic standing. If you need to earn credit or
hours for readmission, you should contact your academic advisor directly and request an assessment of your academic history be conducted.
6) ATTENTION GRADUATES: Cadets using transfer credit to meet degree requirements are required to submit transcript of grade received
by the VMI published deadline specified for all graduate grades. Cadets are responsible to coordinate that grades are sent and received by the
specified deadline. Cadet graduation eligibility will be moved to the next certification period for any cadet whose grade is not received by the
published deadline.
