The transfer information provided on the website is subject to change and may vary depending on source or type of prior credits earned.

These include credit by exam, military credit, and non-collegiate sources of credit.
Prior coursework must be college-level and completed with a grade of C- or better to be accepted in transfer. University transfer credit can be awarded for academic pass/fail courses in which a passing grade that is equivalent to a "C-" or better has been awarded. Transfer grades and credits are not computed within the cumulative GPA earned at CSU-Global Campus.
College credit earned 10 or more years prior to the date of admission cannot be applied towards major or specialization requirements. However, it may be applied towards the fulfillment of many general education requirements and electives. To ensure student success, the general education areas of written communication and math may not always be fulfilled with credit earned 10 or more years prior to the date of admission; students may be required to take a current written communication and/or math course.
Quarter credits are converted to semester credits upon transfer to CSU-Global Campus. This is done by multiplying the quarter credits by 2/3 (or .667).
Transfer credit will not be accepted for courses that duplicate or significantly overlap each other in content and learning outcomes.Credit will not be accepted in transfer for courses that do not meet minimum college-level standards, which by name or description are developmental, remedial, or preparatory (examples: remedial English, developmental reading, preparatory mathematics, pre-college math, etc.)
