A transfer student is defined as a student who transfers to Parker College from a chiropractic college, graduate school, medical university, or other first professional degree, granting the institution is acceptable to the Admissions Committee.
Transfer students attend all scheduled orientation sessions and abide by the same student regulations as non-transfer students. These regulations are in place so students better understand Parker College policies, procedures, and educational opportunities. Transfer students must reapply for financial aid at Parker College, and like all students, must be fully matriculated to receive financial aid.
Credits accepted for transfer must have been awarded within five years of the date of admission to the receiving DC program, except that the receiving DC program may, at its discretion, accept older credits if the entering student holds an earned doctorate in one of the health sciences (e.g., DC, MD, DO, DDS, DPM) or a graduate degree in an academic discipline closely related to the health sciences. Credits must have a 2.00 on a 4.00 scale to be accepted for transfer.
Students transferring from another chiropractic college must meet the admissions requirements that were in effect at Parker College at the time the student first entered a DC program at another chiropractic college. Students must have either left in good standing or be eligible to return to the last institution attended. Students from chiropractic colleges must submit an official transcript from the chiropractic college previously attended along with a letter of good standing from that institution. The previous institution must be an accredited institution recognized by the Council on Chiropractic Education. No student who interrupts their chiropractic education for more than five years will be allowed credit or credit in transfer for previously taken course work. Transfer students will not be conditionally accepted until a letter of good standing dated no more than 30 days prior is received by the Parker Admissions Office.
Students from medical colleges or other first professional degree granting institutions must meet the same admission requirements as all other candidates for admission. Official transcripts from all pre-professional and professional schools must be submitted to meet admission requirements. Transfer students may be given credit for courses previously taken at other institutions if they are equivalent in terms of credit hours, contact hours, content, and quality to that of Parker College.
