This general University provision does not replace existing provisions of a School that are more restrictive in nature .
Every student is given individual attention at Gwynedd Mercy University . Transcripts from other colleges and universities are evaluated by the Admissions Office and Registrar ’ s Office , in consultation with the Dean to determine Gwynedd Mercy University ' s course equivalencies for appropriate transfer credits .
