Academic Credit

Letter grades and three hours of academic credit in AH 490 Art History Studies in Oxford, HI 490 Historical Studies in Oxford, EN 490 Literary Studies in Oxford, or PO 490 Political Science Studies in Oxford will be awarded by Bridgewater State College to every student who successfully completes his or her course. The student’s transcript will record both participation in the Bridgewater-at-Oxford Program and the title of the student’s class. Graduate credit may be earned, provided that the candidate demonstrates an appropriate level of preparation and, in the judgment of the tutor and the directors of the program, successfully completes advanced scholarly work connected with the student’s class. Students who wish to transfer their credits should make prior arrangements with the registrar or academic dean at their own institutions.

Requests for official transcripts must be made in writing, initiated by the student and accompanied by a check for $2 made payable to Bridgewater State College for each copy. Such requests should be sent to:

The Registrar’s Office
Boyden Hall
Bridgewater State College
Bridgewater, MA 02325

Issuance of transcripts normally requires two to five working days.
