Actual transfer of credit will be conducted according to Concordia's policies and agreements.

• Note 1: Students who earn a grade of "C" or better in a two-semester sequence of a non-­English language (i.e. Spanish I and Spanish 11) will satisfy the language requirement for Concordia's Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree.
