Most of my previous coursework is worth 3 credits or semester hours. Will a course worth 3 semester hours still satisfy Elon’s requirements?
A 3 semester hour course from your previous school will transfer to Elon as 3 semester hours of credit. Elon is on a 4 semester hour system. Courses that are equivalent will still satisfy General Studies and major requirements. For example, ENG 110 College Writing is a four-credit course at Elon, but if you transfer ENG 110 College Writing to Elon as a three-credit course, the requirement is satisfied. Overall semester hours or credits toward major requirements, minor requirements and General Studies must be satisfied (132 semester hours required for graduation; 54-58 required in General Studies).
