Questions other students are asking
Prior coursework from a degree-granting institution with institutional accreditation, or credit earned through a national testing program such as the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), DANTES or Advanced Placement, may be transferable, depending on your grades/scores. Your professional training or military training may also be converted into academic credits.
Not at all. Your GPA will be determined by the credits earned in residence at °®ÎÛ´«Ã½.
The transfer of credits is at the discretion of the receiving institution. It is the student’s responsibility to confirm whether credits earned at °®ÎÛ´«Ã½ will be accepted by another institution of the student’s choice.
The °®ÎÛ´«Ã½ can perform a pre-evaluation using your unofficial transcripts to give you an idea of how your transfer credits may apply to your selected program. Officially, you need to complete the admissions form, provide information about all schools attended, and sign the transfer request form. When all forms and transcripts are received, you’ll know for sure what transfer credits will apply.
You don’t pay to transfer college credits. In most cases we can request your official transcripts from prior institutions for you. This saves you time and money. In some cases, institutions may require you to make the request directly.
You might be able to apply military training for college credit. We will request your Joint Service Transcript (JST) for you, and evaluate your military experience using credit recommendations from the American Council for Education (ACE).

The good news is that college credits never expire, however completed credits may not always apply to specific courses needed for a particular program or institutional policy limitations may limit the number of credits that can be applied. It is recommended to have all transcripts reviewed to see what credits may be applied for potential credit to your program.
