Will My Credits Transfer?

Only accredited community college and university credits are accepted. The �鶹ҹ�� does not accept credits from vocational, special program, or business schools.

All courses and grades from an accredited college or university will transfer and be used in your total hours attempted, earned, and cumulative GPA. These totals will be used for financial aid status, scholarship requirements, and academic status. However, all credits will not necessarily satisfy the requirements for your specific major. Transferable credits for degree requirements will be determined by the dean's office of your major at the beginning of your academic journey at the University.

Transfer Equivalency

The Transfer Credit Team facilitates all transfer credit evaluations for prospective and current �鶹ҹ�� students. Transfer credit includes course, AP, CLEP, dual enrollment, and military credit. Transferology and the Transfer Evaluation System (TES) will assist you in reviewing what transfer work the University will accept. Evaluated courses from over 1600 institutions already exist in Transferology and TES. Courses not found in either system have yet to be reviewed. The systems are updated daily with newly evaluated courses.
