Transferring College Credits

Transferring to Walden University

You can request to have your credits evaluated at any time in the admission process, whether you have unofficial or official transcripts.

You can request an official transfer of credit at any time during the admission process.

• Earned and recorded on an official transcript at a school that was accredited by a regional, professional/specialized, or national accrediting organization recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) or the U.S. Department of Education at the time the course was completed, or from an appropriately accredited non-U.S. institution

Graduate

Undergraduate

• There is no time restriction for when the coursework was earned
• Earned in courses posting a C (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) or higher
