PARALEGAL.AB - Paralegal Studies - Associate in Business Degree

The program Program at Henry Ford College welcomes transfer students from institutions of higher education. There are no minimal transfer credit requirements. Students may transfer in a maximum of 40 semester credit hours in accordance with Henry Ford College’s policy. Of those, students may transfer in a maximum of 12 legal specialty semester credit hours, of which at least 4 must have been earned through traditional classroom instruction. The transfer credits from legal specialty courses must be approved by the Director of the program Program to ensure that the credit is classified as legal specialty and meets the course objectives of the course for which credit is being awarded. Legal specialty courses are defined as: (1) cover substantive law or legal procedures or processes, (2) have been developed for paralegals, and (3) emphasize practical paralegal skills.

Additional requirements for approval of transfer legal specialty credits are:

1. The course must be considered college-level.

2. Only courses in which the student has received a grade of 2.0 (“C”) or higher may transfer.

3. Official transcripts must be sent directly from the student’s previous college to HFC.
