Approved Transfer Credits

If approved, the applicant will be notified of the credit(s) granted. The Veterans’ Administration will also be notified of the credit(s) granted to veteran applicants. 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 the following criteria are met:

1. The course(s) that is/are evaluated are comparable in content and credits to West Coast University courses.  
2. A grade of 2.0 or better was achieved for undergraduate credits as documented on official transcripts. 
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:  The University's recency policy mandates that all science courses, required as a pre-requisite to the program core, must have been completed in the five (5) calendar years prior to admission.  All other science courses not designated as a pre-requisite to the program core may be submitted for evaluation of transfer credit requirements regardless of recency.  Please see program-specific information for more details regarding pre-requisite requirements.  Although satisfaction of the aforementioned criteria is essential, the University does not guarantee acceptance of transfer credit.  Decisions regarding transfer credit by the applicable academic administrator are considered final.
