Approved Transfer Credits

If approved, the student will be notified of the credit(s) granted. The Veterans’ Administration will also be notified of the credit(s) granted to veteran students. Students are expected to attend all classes in their program of study until their transfer credit request has been evaluated and approved.

Credits will be considered for transfer if all of the following criteria are met:

1. The course(s) is/are judged comparable in content and credits to West Coast University courses;
2. A grade of 2.0 or better was achieved for undergraduate credits;
3. The course recency requirements are met.
4. The transfer credit meets the requirements of the specific academic program for which they are being considered.  Each program maintains its own transfer credit requirements. 

Please note: Each academic program has its own recency requirements for transfer credit. The University’s recency policy includes a requirement that all science courses have been completed in the 5 calendar years prior to admission. See program specific requirements for clarification.

Although satisfaction of the aforementioned criteria is essential the University does not guarantee acceptance of transfer credit. Decisions regarding transfer credits by the applicable academic administrator are considered final.
