We have hundreds of agreements with two-year institutions that enable you to take the eligible credits you’ve earned and transition from an associate’s degree to a bachelor’s degree program here. This transfer process saves you time and money, allowing you to graduate in less time.
Two Ways To Transfer College Credits
- Course-By-Course Transfer Guides. We’ve put together course-by-course transfer guides that spell out exactly which general and elective credits we accept.
- Program Transfer Guides and Approved 2+2 Agreements. Through the 2+2 agreement we’ve established with partnering colleges, you can transfer previous credits you earned toward an associate’s degree at another institution and apply it toward your lower division coursework requirements at University of Phoenix. That means you only have to take your core classes to earn your bachelor’s degree.

Transfer Policy
We’ll grant elective or general education credit for college-level coursework taken at a regionally- or nationally-accredited college or university in which you earned a C- or better. Credit is not granted for remedial or developmental classes.
Even though we will accept some of your previous college credits, you may still need additional credits in order to fulfill requirements for certain degree programs. All quarter or calendar credits you earned at a previous institution will be reviewed and converted to semester credits.
For Students With Foreign Credentials
We provide in-house evaluation services for college transcripts from a number of colleges and universities outside of the United States. If we’re unable to review your foreign credentials, we’ll provide you with a list of professional evaluation agencies that we work with.
If you have an initial teaching certification from a foreign institution, you’ll also need to have the state in which you’re applying to school evaluate your academic record.
If your academic records are in another language, you’ll also need to get a certified English translation. Translations provided by the foreign institution you attended or from an official translation service are accepted. If your transcript is issued in French or Spanish, the translation can be done by a certified translator at University of Phoenix.
Our evaluation services follow the standards approved by the National Association of Foreign Student Administrators (NAFSA) and/or those approved by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO).
