Transfer of Credit Toward the Minor
The English department will accept up to the equivalent of two full courses of transfer credit to count toward the English minor requirements. Two types of approval are needed. (1) Approval from the Office of the Registrar that the transfer course meets Oberlin’s transfer-of-credit eligibility standards and (2) approval from the department/program chair that the course(s) may count to the minor. Current students taking post-matriculation credit must secure this approval before registering for course(s). Students who enter Oberlin as transfer students will have their pre-matriculation credit evaluated by the Office of the Registrar for elective credit, and they can later seek approval from the department/program for applying coursework to minor requirements. Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate Credit
AP/IB transfer credit received for ENGL 600 does not count toward the English minor. Detailed Minor Requirements
