To start the transfer credit process
- Start your application and be sure to indicate that you plan to transfer credits on your application. Please note, the transfer credit evaluation process will not begin until your application for admission is complete and we’ve received all your transfer credit documents.
- Request materials required for your application for admission AND your transfer credit evaluation:
- Academic transcripts from each institution you previously attended:
- Official U.S. transcripts: if you applied previously earned credits towards your earned associate degree, you must request transcripts from each institution you attended. It typically takes 2-4 weeks for us to receive transcripts from institutions
- Official foreign transcripts: foreign transcripts must include English translation. We encourage you to submit a course by course evaluation of your diploma(s) and transcript(s)
- Official college level examination scores
- Military evaluations
Military training and coursework may be transferred in for course credit. Provide all documentation of previous training and coursework with your application for admission consideration.
