Transferability of Credits Disclosure Statement

Per SB3789/HB3857, the State of Tennessee requires all educational institutions operating within Tennessee to provide the following transferability of credit disclosure statement to prospective students, prior to enrollment:

Credits earned at Huntington College of Health Sciences may not transfer to another educational institution. Credits earned at another educational institution may not be accepted by Huntington College of Health Sciences. You should obtain confirmation that Huntington College of Health Sciences will accept any credits you have earned at another educational institution before you execute an enrollment contract or agreement. You should also contact any educational institutions that you may want to transfer credits earned at Huntington College of Health Sciences to determine if such institutions will accept credits earned at Huntington College of Health Sciences prior to executing an enrollment contract or agreement.

The ability to transfer credits from Huntington College of Health Sciences to another educational institution may be very limited. Your credits may not transfer and you may have to repeat courses previously taken at Huntington College of Health Sciences if you enroll in another educational institution. You should never assume that credits will transfer to or from any educational institution. It is highly recommended and you are advised to make certain that you know the transfer of credit policy of Huntington College of Health Sciences and of any other educational institutions you may in the future want to transfer the credits earned at Huntington College of Health Sciences before you execute an enrollment contract or agreement.

Articulation Agreements
Students come to Huntington College of Health Sciences (HCHS) from a variety of academic backgrounds. Also, some HCHS graduates plan to continue with their education in other areas. For these reasons, HCHS has articulation agreements with other colleges and universities to help facilitate the transfer of college credits from one institution to another. Of course articulation agreements are not necessary in order for college credits to be accepted by HCHS, or in order for other institutions to accept HCHS credits, it just makes the process simpler.

Below is a listing of institutions with whom HCHS has articulation agreements, as well as a description of the types of programs offered at those institutions. Please keep in mind that, even with an articulation agreement, not all courses may be accepted for transfer to or from HCHS.
