Undergraduate Students: Transfer Course Work from other Colleges and Universities
1. If you want to take courses at another institution, your first step is to consult your academic advisor, class dean, and/or your Cyberfriar Audit Evaluation to determine your unfulfilled degree requirements.
2. Identify one or more specific courses at an accredited college/university that you believe will fulfill one of your requirements. You must check the
Transfer Course Database to learn if the course is currently transferable.

If the course you are interested in taking is not in the database, that means it has not yet been articulated for transfer to PC. In this case, you must bring a course syllabus to the Office of Enrollment Services in Harkins 310. The course will then be reviewed for transfer review/articulation. You will receive an email at your PC address within 7 working days informing you of the outcome of the transfer course review. Step 2 applies to class of 2013, 2014, and 2015. Students from the class of 2016, please see special note below.
3. Once you have found courses that will be accepted for transfer, please schedule an appointment with your class dean in Harkins 213 (phone 401.865.2495) to fill out the Course Approval Form.
4. You must then register at the college/university for the approved course, and ensure that an official transcript is sent to the Dean of Enrollment Services at Providence College (Harkins 310) upon successful completion of the course. “Successful completion” means earning a “C” or better. Please remember that while credits for the approved course and its PC equivalent will be included on the student’s PC transcript, the grade will be recorded as a “T” and will not affect the student’s GPA.
SPECIAL NOTE: CLASS of 2016
Schedule an appointment with your class dean in Harkins 213 (401.865.2495) to discuss transfer summer school options.
Identify one or more specific courses at an accredited college/university that you believe will fulfill one of your requirements and obtain a copy of the course syllabus. You must bring the course syllabus to the Office of Enrollment Services in Harkins 310. The course will be reviewed by the appropriate departments for transfer review/articulation. The review process involves multiple administrative offices, so it is recommended that you submit a syllabus by April 5 to receive a timely response. You will receive an email at your PC address from Enrollment Services informing you of the outcome of the transfer review..
