The University of Mount Union will accept as transfer credits applicable to the Bachelor's degree up to 40 semester hours of credit of course work taken at NEOMED in which the student received a “C” or better. A student’s undergraduate GPA for degree-granting purposes at the University of Mount Union will be the GPA at the end of the undergraduate phase of the undergraduate’s program; grades from NEOMED are not transferrable to the University of Mount Union.
A student who elects to withdraw from the NEOMED Pharm D program or who fails to successfully complete the first year of their graduate program may return, without reapplication, to Mount Union, for completion of their undergraduate degree.
