Transfer Exchange
The following policies govern course registration in the exchange programs at Millersville University, the Lancaster Theological Seminary and the Central Pennsylvania Consortium colleges of Gettysburg College and Dickinson College:
- Only courses that are not available at Franklin & Marshall College may be taken at another institution for credit.
- A student may register for one course per semester at Millersville University or the Lancaster Theological Seminary. A student may spend a semester or a year in residence at Gettysburg College or Dickinson College, in addition to the option of taking one course per semester while in residence at Franklin & Marshall.
- Permission forms must be obtained from the Registrar, and the course must be included on the student’s Franklin & Marshall schedule.
- This free exchange provision pertains only to regular semesters (Fall and Spring) and is open only to fulltime, matriculated (degree candidate) students.
- Under the exchange procedure, three-credit-hour offerings are awarded a full course credit at Franklin & Marshall College. This provision applies to all courses at the exchange institutions, including those (e.g. summer courses) not covered by the exchange agreement.
- Such courses are noted on the student’s academic record with the assigned grades indicated and included in the student’s grade point average calculations. Exchange courses may be taken Pass/No Pass if appropriate. This provision applies to all courses at the exchange institutions, including those (e.g. summer courses) not covered by the exchange agreement.
- Enrollment in exchange programs may delay graduation clearance for second-semester seniors. Franklin & Marshall credit is given only upon receipt of an official transcript sent directly from the exchange institution to the Franklin & Marshall Registrar’s Office.
- If a course is repeated after having received an original grade of “D+,” “D,” “D-,” “F,” or “NP,” the repeat must take place at the same institution at which the course was originally taken. In particular, courses originally taken at Franklin & Marshall that are eligible to be repeated may not be repeated at an exchange institution.
Graduate Partnerships
A liberal arts education from Franklin & Marshall College (F&M) provides students with exceptional problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication skills while they pursue coursework across the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. This broad acumen uniquely equips F&M students to excel in a multitude of graduate programs. To facilitate the transition from F&M to a graduate program, the College has entered into cooperative partnership agreements with other institutions to create a pathway to a master’s degree and, in some cases, a doctoral degree. Such agreements oftern allow students to proceed directly from three years of undergraduate study at F&M to one or two years of study at the partner institution. Cooperative partnerships exist in engineering, business, accounting, and many other fields. To learn more, contact the Registrar’s Office for a complete listing.
