A grade of “C” or better is required for transfer. Transfer credit is awarded for courses taken at regionally accredited institutions and can not be awarded based on placement tests or non-class credit awarded at other institutions.

The university will accept ALL liberal education courses regardless of the date of satisfactory completion unless the liberal education course is also a major course.

The university will accept major courses taken within 15 years unless listed below.

The university will accept major courses taken within 5 years for the specific courses listed below.

Decisions regarding exceptions to any policy will be made by the dean of the appropriate college. 

Courses with technical content (e.g. computer programming/applications, etc.) taken over five years prior to admission may not be eligible for transfer.

Changing majors after an admissions decision has been made may alter the eligibility of courses that have been already designated on a previous program plan.

Developmental Studies and English as a Second Language Courses do not transfer.

Students are not permitted to transfer more than 65 semester hours of credit (97 quarter hours) from two year institutions to a Brenau program. This 65-hour limit represents the total of all credits taken at all two year colleges the student attended before applying for admission to Brenau. This 65-hour maximum does not affect Brenau’s minimum residency requirement.

Departments reserve the right to require a student to take a prerequisite course for a Brenau course at a four year institution.

Liberal Education Courses

Broaden your worldview with a liberal education

For many students, financial aid is one of the most important aspects of going to college. Our Financial Aid office has dedicated transfer counselors to assist you through the process. They can be reached by email at financialaid@brenau.edu or by phone at 770-534-6152. 

We recommend that you begin the financial aid process as soon as you apply for admission. 

1. Visit fafsa.gov and complete the free application for Federal Student aid. This can be done as early as Oct. 1. Brenau’s FAFSA code is 001556.
2. Create a unique login (FSA ID) – if you don’t already have one.
3. Eligible Georgia residents should apply for the Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant and HOPE Scholarship at gafutures.org.

Visit the Financial Aid Office webpage and Brenau’s Net Price Calculator to see what types of aid may be available.

Take a look at our Transfer Equivalency System to see which of the courses you’ve already taken will transfer to Brenau. This list isn’t all-inclusive, and is updated frequently.
