Admissions Policies

Advanced Standing (Transfer Credit)

Students may receive advanced standing or transfer credit for courses taken in other recognized public, private, or Government educational institutions. Approval for specific courses will be established individually on the basis of breadth, scope, organization, and quality of work offered in relationship to the courses required by Frontier Institute of Technology. No more than 75% of the credits required for a Bachelor’s degree program or 50% of the credits required for a Master’s degree program may be fulfilled via transfer credit. Requests for advanced standing require an official transcript indicating comparable coursework with grades of a C (Bachelor’s) or B (Master’s) or higher. Transfer credits that are recognized and accepted by Frontier Institute of Technology will appear on the student’s transcript but are not factored into the calculation of the student’s grade point average.

Frontier will consider transfer credit earned at institutions of higher education outside of the United States that are recognized by the Ministry of Education or equivalent authorizing agency, provided that such credits have been earned through university-level coursework and are presented with equivalent grades of “A,” “B,” or “C.” The Office of Admissions and/or the Office of the Registrar will make the final determination of the award and applicability of any international credit. A certified course-by-course evaluation from an organization recognized by Frontier may be required for all post-secondary level studies completed outside of the United States at institutions that are not accredited or if the transcript is not in English. GPA and degree equivalencies must be included with your course-by-course evaluation. All fees charged by translators or external evaluators must be paid by the student.

The recognized transcript evaluation organizations are:
