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. While you wait for your official transcripts to arrive at Walden, you can submit unofficial transcripts to expedite a preliminary transfer-of-credit evaluation.
-
Get a Transfer-of-Credit Evaluation
When you receive your offer of admission to Walden, you’ll get a transfer-of-credit evaluation—a service that we provide at no charge.
-
Review Your Approved Transfer-of-Credit Offer With Your Enrollment Specialist
Once your transfer-of-credit evaluation is complete, you will be notified of the total number of transferable credits available to you. Based on that information, you will also receive an updated tuition estimate. You can then review your plan of study with your Enrollment Specialist and discuss the estimated length of your program and tuition savings.
What credits can I transfer into undergraduate programs?
For transfer of credit into undergraduate programs,* you must have earned credit:
- At any time in the past, with the exception of select technology courses.
- With a posted score of a C (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) or higher.
- That aligns with applicable program or degree requirements.
*There may be additional program-specific transfer-of-credit criteria. Students should check the Walden University Catalog for program-specific requirements and restrictions.
What credits can I transfer into graduate programs?
For transfer of credit into graduate programs,* you must have earned credit:
- Within 10 years of enrolling in your Walden program.
- With a posted score of a B (3.0 on a 4.0 scale) or higher.

Will Walden accept credits from all my previous institutions?
Credits to be evaluated for transfer from other educational institutions must be earned and recorded on an official transcript. These credits must be from 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 institution outside the United States.
