Can I transfer credits from other institutions?

Western Governors University has a policy that allows students to transfer credits from other accredited institutions, which can be quite beneficial for those who have completed prior coursework. The process for transferring credits generally involves an evaluation of the courses you have completed to determine whether they align with WGU's curriculum and meet the necessary academic standards. It is essential that the courses being transferred have been taken at a regionally accredited institution. Students will typically need to provide official transcripts and possibly course descriptions or syllabi to facilitate the evaluation process. The admissions team at WGU assesses these materials to determine how many credits can be accepted based on their transfer credit policy. It is advisable for prospective students to review the transfer credit policies available on the university's official website to gain a better understanding of the guidelines and expectations. This will provide clarity on credit transfer limits and specific requirements needed for a successful transfer.
