Credit Transfer InformationHamline subscribes to the following two services, where you can look for courses from other institutions to see how they transfer to Hamline:

1—Transfer Evaluation System (TES) at hamline.edu/TES: TES includes colleges and universities from across the country. It includes courses that have been previously transferred to Hamline and shows how they transferred (whether they are equivalent to Hamline courses and whether they include a specific Hamline Plan letter). Simply select your transfer institution, and you will have access to every course that has been transferred to Hamline. To see more detailed information on a particular course, select “view.” Any Hamline Plan requirements that are met will be listed in the “notes” section at the top. If a course transfers as “[DEPT] TRAN,” for example, “ENG TRAN,” it is possible that the course has not been evaluated for Hamline equivalents. If that is the case, contact the transfer articulation coordinator at transferarticulation@hamline.edu to inquire further.

2—Transferology at hamline.edu/transferology: Transferology offers the same information as TES but in a different platform. Before you can begin, you will need to create an account. Transferology allows you to hand-pick classes you have already taken and shows you how they transfer to Hamline. To do this, go to the “Will my courses transfer?” section of the website. Once you have selected your courses, select “Search for Matches” and select Hamline. To see Hamline Plan requirements, click the “i” next to the Hamline equivalent.

Another useful feature of Transferology is the “Find a replacement course” section of the website. Here you can select the Hamline course that you would like to transfer in. Once you have chosen that course, Transferology generates a list all of the courses in Minnesota (use the filter to select another state) that will transfer as a direct equivalent to the Hamline course you selected.

If you have any questions concerning TES or Transferology, contact the transfer articulation coordinator at transferarticulation@hamline.edu or 651-523-2127.

You may also contact your advisor when personal problems are interfering with academic life or when you wish to discuss life after Hamline—careers or graduate school. Your advisor may not have all the answers, but he or she can refer you to the appropriate resources or people more knowledgeable about your concerns.

Academic Advising assigns you your first advisor. If you indicated a major on your application for admission, you will be assigned an advisor who teaches in that department. If you are undecided about a major, you will be assigned to an advisor in the Academic Advising office. If you change majors or find that you are working more closely with a different faculty member in your major department, you should change advisors. You may have more than one advisor if you have more than one major or are involved in certain pre-professional programs (e.g., education, pre-med).

You should meet regularly with your advisor during the academic year. Your first meeting should take place shortly after you arrive at Hamline. Thereafter, you should meet

during pre-registration Advising Weeks, when your schedule requires revisions, and whenever questions or concerns about your studies or related matters arise. It is your responsibility to arrange your advising meetings. Faculty members at Hamline designate office hours each week.

Contact your advisor during those times to arrange an appointment. Attend each advising meeting well prepared. If you are planning to work on your course schedule, bring all necessary materials to the meeting. Be familiar with the class schedule, and read the Hamline Undergraduate Bulletin at bulletin.hamline.edu.

Your advisor will expect you to be forming ideas about the courses you wish to take, your major, and your ultimate goals. Think about your academic and personal values and abilities, and be prepared to discuss them during advising meetings. Your advisor is there to provide information and make suggestions but not to make decisions for you. Your education is your responsibility; the academic advising program helps you meet that responsibility.

II. Step By Step Course Selection1—Determine your degree standing

Hamline Plan requirementsYour transcript lists all of your previous courses that have transferred to Hamline. If a course fulfills one or more Hamline Plan requirements, it will be marked with a code letter. You can find a key to the Hamline Plan letters on page 5. To determine which requirements you have satisfied, enter all courses marked by Hamline Plan letters in the appropriate spaces on the Academic Advising Worksheet.

If any of your courses have not yet been evaluated for Hamline Plan credit or some of your work is not on the transcript, contact your admission counselor for advice.

Major requirementsCourse requirements for your major (if you have chosen one) are listed in the Hamline Undergraduate Bulletin or at hamline.edu/ugrequirements. Print the Program Requirements sheet for your major to review the required courses. Record any requirements that you have already fulfilled with transfer work. Remember, this is a tentative estimate. You must discuss your major with your advisor and have all transferred courses approved in writing. You should do this during the first two weeks of the semester. Use the Program Requirements sheet for any course substitutions that may be necessary.

Credit requirementsNote the total number of transfer credits on your internal transcript. Record that number in the first line of the Credit Requirements section on the Academic Advising Worksheet. Remember, you will need 128 credits to graduate. On the major program form, make a note of the number of credits you have completed at your previous institution that are outside your major department. You must complete 48 credits outside of your major department. Please refer to the Hamline Undergraduate Bulletin for more information on how to calculate breadth of study based on your major. Your faculty advisor and Academic Advising can assist you with this process.

2—Language Placement If you’re thinking of taking French, German, or Spanish, it’s important that you choose a class at the level that’s right for you. First, complete the online language level assessment at hamline.edu/languageplacement. The assessment is free and must be completed before you register for a language class. Note that your score might recommend that you take a course for which you have already received credit. While you may repeat a course as a review, you will not receive credit twice for the same course.

I. Before You BeginIn order to register, you will need the following items, available at hamline.edu/advising:

1. This document

2. Hamline’s evaluation of your work at previous colleges—your internal transcript. If you haven’t received an internal transcript, please call your admission counselor to request one.

3. The Transfer Registration Worksheet and Directions

4. The weekly timetable/Academic Advising Worksheet

5. Internet access to the following websites: hamline.edu/classschedules and bulletin.hamline.edu

Before going further, please take time now to read the Academic Standards and Policies section of the Hamline Undergraduate Bulletin. You may view the Undergraduate Bulletin online at bulletin.hamline.edu. Select “Academic Standards and Policies.”

As you read the Undergraduate Bulletin, pay close attention to the following key points:

A total of 128 credits (transferred credits plus Hamline credits) are required for graduation, and at least 56 of those credits must be completed in residence at Hamline. Courses taken through the ACTC exchange, Hamline study abroad, and HECUA programs are counted as residency credits. Full-time students generally earn 32 residency credits per year and can distribute these credits across fall and spring terms at 16 credits per term. Students are allowed to enroll in 12 to 18 credits per term for the same tuition cost and can enroll in up to 20 credits per term for an additional fee. Students can also elect to enroll in a 4-credit winter (J-term) course for an additional fee.

Transfer students must take at least 56 credits at Hamline or within the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) consortium to earn a Hamline degree and a minimum of 60 Hamline credits graded on an A–F scale to be eligible for graduation honors (cum laude, magna cum laude, summa cum laude).

3—Choose your coursesLook at your Academic Advising Worksheet and your major requirement sheet. What Hamline Plan, major, and breadth of study requirements do you have remaining? You should choose courses that will fulfill these outstanding requirements. The courses being offered this term are listed at hamline.edu/classschedules. From the “Undergraduate Program” pull-down menu, select the appropriate term. If a course fulfills a Hamline Plan requirement, it will be indicated. Descriptions and prerequisites for courses are in the Hamline Undergraduate Bulletin.

As a general rule, you should register for a mix of major and non-major courses. Do not register for Hamline courses that are equivalent to courses you will be transferring. You will not receive credit for repeated courses. If you’re not sure if a course is equivalent, please call Academic Advising.

Use the timetable on page two of the Academic Advising Worksheet to draft your weekly schedule. This timetable is a worksheet for you to write on as you arrange your schedule and consider possible courses. By using this timetable, you will avoid time conflicts in your schedule. Keep the timetable for your reference.

Complete the registration form. You must record four first-choice classes and four alternates. For each course chosen, read the description in the Hamline Undergraduate Bulletin and write down the prerequisites. You may not register for courses if you have not completed the prerequisites.

You are now ready to register. Follow the step-by-step instructions on the back side of your registration worksheet.

Use this form for Hamline courses only. If you wish to take a course at one of the ACTC schools, call Academic Advising at 651-523-2912.

Finally, we strongly recommend that once you register, you call to schedule an individual appointment with Academic Advising. During this appointment, we can review your transfer work, finalize your schedule, and determine a realistic graduation date. Most transfer students find this meeting extremely useful in planning their time at Hamline. Our office is open year-round.

III. Final Details

Verification of registration You will be able to view your finalized class schedule on Piperline after you complete your registration. Once you submit your registration, Academic Advising will be in touch within two to three business days. If we have questions or concerns about your course selections, we will try calling and emailing you. Alternately, if your selections are appropriate and look okay, we will send you an email confirming as much.

Once your schedule is approved by Academic Advising, we will place a registration hold on your account. This means you’ve done an excellent job in selecting courses. Once the hold is in place, you can still make changes but only by contacting our office. You will not be able to make changes via Piperline. If you wish to add or drop courses please call Academic Advising at 651-523-2912. Meet with your faculty advisor as soon as possible to discuss your course selections.

Now is the time for you to begin thinking about possible majors and directions for your life.

Diversity two courses

Goals of the diversity requirement are to help students learn to demonstrate an understanding of systemic inequalities, power differences, and interdependencies of people in a diverse world. Students will engage in intellectual discourse and reflection about and across differences, and will be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of diverse cultures, and to reflect upon their own and others’ social identities (gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, dis/ability, class, etc.).

Global citizenshipGlobal citizenship is grounded in critical and multidisciplinary analyses of and engagement with complex, interdependent global systems and legacies (such as natural, social, cultural, linguistic, economic, and political) and their implications for people’s lives and the earth’s sustainability. Global citizenship courses equip students to

1) become informed, open-minded, and socially responsible citizens who seek to understand how their actions affect both local and global communities and (2) address the world’s most pressing and enduring issues collectively and equitably.

Independent critical inquiry and information literacyLearning outcomes for this category include gaining the ability to frame a critical inquiry project and integrate multiple perspectives in presenting information.

CollaborationCollaboration—the ability to work productively in teams—is a cornerstone to addressing the most pressing issues of today’s and tomorrow’s world and is embodied in Hamline’s mission of service and leadership. It also happens to be one of the most often cited skills in demand by employers. Students complete one course that focuses on developing and strengthening collaborative skills by engaging with team-based processes.

Liberal Education as Practice (LEAP)The LEAP requirement provides students with hands-on experiences through which they can connect their academic skill set with the world of work and the mission, vision, and values of Hamline. LEAP experiences include internships, collaborative research projects, and courses including community-based, experiential components. Students are encouraged to participate in LEAP experiences in their majors and to engage in more than one LEAP experience during their Hamline career.

Breadth of study48 credits completed outside of your major department.

MajorA field of concentration, ranging from 8 to 17 courses, depending on program requirements. At least 16 credits in your major must be completed at Hamline. Major requirements can be found in the Hamline Undergraduate Bulletin, or at hamline.edu/ugrequirements.
