Transfer of Credit and Advanced Academic Standing

Applicants should discuss all previous experience and training with an advisor during the Admissions Interview. During the enrollment process, applicants will complete a Request for Official Transcript form for each prior institution attended and submit all relevant documentation relating to prior learning for review and consideration of credit towards the student’s program completion. The University will assist applicants with requesting transcripts from all prior institutions that allow third-party requests. Applicants are responsible for ensuring the University’s receipt of official transcripts within a student's first semester and any related fees required by the issuing institutions. Once official transcripts are received, an evaluation will be completed to determine the application of transfer credit towards the student’s program. Applicants are notified once an evaluation is complete and will receive a Transfer Credit Evaluation notification.

Additional policies for students pursing a graduate degree are included in this Catalog under the Graduate Program Policies.
