SAU will accept up to 90 credit hours from four-year colleges and universities. From two-year or community colleges, up to 60 credits will transfer. The Records and Registration Office, along with the student’s major department advisor, will determine which of the transfer credits fulfill general education requirements and major requirements.

St. Ambrose has “2+2” transfer agreements with several programs within Eastern Iowa Community Colleges (Scott, Clinton and Muscatine) and Black Hawk College in Moline, Ill. The university also has course equivalency information for Eastern Iowa, Blackhawk and Kirkwood Colleges. Check with SAU’s Admissions Office or the individual community college for more information.

Academic standing is determined as follows:
Freshman: 0-29 credits
Sophomore: 30-59 credits
Junior: 60-89 credits
Senior: 90 and more credits
