Transfer of Credit

General Undergraduate Transfer of Credit Criteria

The following general guidelines for transfer of credit apply to Argosy University undergraduate programs. All credit transfer requests are subject to approval by the Dean or Program Chair, and therefore are not guaranteed.

You can contact us with questions regarding your specific circumstances, or simply to request more information.

College undergraduate credits earned at other accredited institutions are acceptable for transfer based upon the following:

• The course must be comparable in content, goals, and level to the Argosy University course or content area for which credit is sought.
• The course must have been completed at a college or university that is accredited by an appropriate regional or national accrediting agency (generally those recognized by the Department of Education). If a national accrediting agency, it must be part of a program approved and documented by the faculty and dean of the appropriate college at Argosy University. In the case of institutions outside the United States, the appropriate state (or its equivalent) or national accreditation is required.
• The course must have equivalent number of credits as the Argosy University course.
• The course must have been taken for degree credit.
• Students must have earned a grade of "C-" or better for any course submitted.
• Official transcripts are required for transfer credit to be considered.

Students may be required to provide a copy of the catalog description and/or the course syllabus from the institution where the credit was awarded to validate that the course satisfies the transfer credit criteria.
