Continuation to Emory College

Early each spring semester, the staff, administration, and faculty of Oxford and Emory colleges work to give Oxford’s rising juniors (“continuees”) the information and guidance required to continue as Emory College juniors as seamlessly as possible. Oxford students are encouraged to begin acquainting themselves with the Atlanta campus in their first year at Oxford and to attend special continuee transition programs scheduled in spring semester of their sophomore year. Shuttle service to the Atlanta campus is provided for students (consult Campus Life for details).

Continuation Requirements

  1. Fulfill the course requirements (see Degree Requirements);
  2. Achieve a cumulative grade-point average of at least 2.0 on work taken at Oxford;
  3. Residency requirement: the last eight semester hours must be taken at Oxford College or in Emory University Summer School;
  4. Transfer students: complete a minimum of thirty-five semester hours, two of which must be in physical education (and complete the conditions stated above).
  5. Students may not transfer between Oxford College and Emory College.


Oxford College continuees must earn a total of 132 semester hours of credit to graduate from Emory College; of these credits, a minimum of fifty-four semester hours must be earned in Emory College with a minimum of three semesters of residence in Emory College (twelve semester hours or more per semester); a semester of fewer than twelve hours can be combined with another semester of fewer than twelve hours to make up one semester of residence; however, a partial semester may not be combined with a semester of more than twelve hours to form two semesters of residence.
