Ways your transfer credits count
Associate degree
Save $144 per three-credit course when you transfer from any regionally accredited college or university with your associate degree. Check out our Transfer Guides to get an idea of how you can put your prior earned credits to use.
College credits
Let us take the guesswork out of figuring out which of your courses will transfer. Our trained enrollment representatives will walk you through the entire process. So even if it’s been years, we can help you make the most of your hard work.
Military training
The skills you’ve acquired while serving our country won’t just help you in life. The military documents its training programs, so you might be able to apply training for college credit. A trained representative can help answer your questions.
International credits
We evaluate academic credentials from a number of international colleges and universities. But If we’re unable to review your credits for some reason, we’ll direct you to an agency that can. Note that foreign language transcripts require certified English translation.

Don’t have college transfer credits?
That’s okay. Through the Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) process, you could potentially get credit for what you know by submitting copies of your relevant certifications and transcripts or writing an experiential essay. PLA works two ways:
1. Have your training evaluated for credit.
We’ve already assessed many popular licensure and corporate training programs from the six areas below. Review our Pre-Evaluated List and Credit Recommendation Guide to find out if you can get credit for yours.
- Corporate training
- Industry licensures
- Certifications
- Technical school courses
- Professional development
- Life experience
2. Write an essay about your life experience.
If you have credits that aren’t transferrable, or no credits at all, don’t worry. You may still be able to earn credit by completing an Experiential Essay on one of many approved topics:
- Communication arts
- Humanities
- Science/Technology
- Social science
- Physical education, and more
Take the next step
Speak with an enrollment representative to learn how college transfer credits and the PLA process can move you closer to your dream of earning your degree.
