Transfer students are required to meet all Emory & Henry University Core requirements outlined in the catalog above under "Core Curriculum Requirements" and "Requirements for Graduation," with the exceptions noted below:
- Only transfer students who have completed at least twelve semester hours of college credit elsewhere following high school graduation may be exempted from completing Self (CORE 100).
- Students who have completed at least twenty-six transferable semester hours elsewhere following high school graduation are exempted from the Lifetime Wellness course (CORE 103), but not the associated physical activity courses.
- Transfer students who enter Emory & Henry with at least fifty-six semester hours completed elsewhere following high school graduation are exempt from the Emory Abroad requirements.
- Transfer students who have completed an Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, or an Associate of Arts and Science degree from a Virginia community college will satisfy all general education requirements for 100 and 200 level courses. The students will receive junior status. CORE 300, which requires junior status, will be the only remaining general education requirement.
For transfer students without a completed Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, or an Associate of Arts and Science from a Virginia community college, the university's CORE 200 and CORE 300 requirements must be completed at Emory & Henry.
