Transfer Guide from Southwestern Illinois College
This guide has been published to assist students in preparing for transfer to Webster University from Southwestern Illinois College to complete the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree. This should not be used in place of individual academic advising. Students are strongly encouraged to meet with a Webster University transfer admissions counselor early in their academic career to ensure a smooth transfer experience.
Business Degrees
Students must fulfill graduation requirements at both institutions.
Webster University provides full transfer of coursework successfully completed as part of an associate's degree awarded by a regionally accredited institution. While students with this associate's degree will typically transfer 60-64 credit hours, Webster will transfer in all college-level coursework that is part of the completed associate's degree. Transfer of additional lower-division credit beyond the associate's degree is restricted. All transfer credit is capped at 90 credit hours.
Students with an AA from a regionally accredited community college will receive full transfer credit of their AA toward the completion of a BS. Students with the AA will have also satisfied all of the requirements for the Global Citizenship Program except for the Keystone course.
Both institutions will honor all existing reverse transfer agreements.
All transfer coursework must be college-level (1000/100-level or above) with a passing grade. A grade of D or higher is considered passing, but a D will have severe transfer restrictions. Pass/Fail courses will count for transfer credit if the student received a Pass. For repeated courses, only the second grade will be counted. Incomplete grades are not accepted in transfer. Formal evaluation of transfer credit is conducted by the Office of the Registrar upon admission to Webster University.
Students should contact an advisor for further information regarding placement based on scheduling, and degree and graduation requirements.
