Transfer Credit Policies

To be eligible for transfer credit, an approved course must be taken at an approved college and completed with a grade of C or better.

We don’t require transfer students to have taken any specific courses in the past. Instead, we offer general guidelines to prepare you for a successful transition. As part of our application review process, we evaluate your courses from other schools and institutions. If you’re admitted, you’ll receive a preliminary assessment that shows an estimate of your accepted credits. Once you enroll, you’ll begin an official credit evaluation.

While these don’t replace our official credit evaluation, you can use them as general guidelines during the transfer process.
