Walden’s Transfer of Credit Process

Walden has made the process of transferring credits as simple as possible.

Apply Online and Answer a Few Questions

When you apply online, you’ll be asked if you would like to transfer credits. You may be eligible if you’ve taken courses for college credits, have a professional certification relevant to your desired program, and/or passed relevant examinations for graduate-level subjects (e.g., GRE, CPA).
Submit Your Transcripts

Official transcripts are required to finalize your admission and transfer-of-credit eligibility. If you haven’t already, request your official transcripts from the previous institutions you’ve attended.
