Requests for transfer credits must be submitted during the enrollment process. An official credit evaluation is completed for students as part of the application process as soon as students submit unofficial or official transcripts along with the transcript evaluation request form to the Office of the Registrar. Once transcripts are submitted, preliminary results are communicated within five (5) business days. Please note that a final list of approved transfer credits cannot be completed until official transcripts have been received by the University. Courses with a grade of “C” or higher are generally transferable if the cumulative GPA of course work is a 2.0 or higher and if the course objective and rigor align with those set by Bryan University. All accepted transfer credit counts towards satisfactory academic progress.
Credits can only be approved for college-level courses from an accredited institution recognized by the Department of Education and must meet requirements of the degree program in which the student is pursuing. Official transcripts should be sent to the Office of the Registrar. The University may accept up to 70% of required program credits toward an undergraduate degree, certificate, or associate degree. A majority of the credit must be completed at Bryan University for graduate degrees.
All requests must be submitted before the first day of a class in which the student is petitioning for transfer credits. Requests submitted after the student has started a class cannot be considered. Transferable credits must have been earned prior to the date of enrollment, with the exception of CLEP, and may not be considered if more than ten (10) years old. Official transcripts must be submitted to the Registrar's Office within the first eight (8) weeks from the start of the program. Transcripts submitted after the first eight (8) weeks will not be eligible for transfer credit.
Additional details such as a course catalog or official syllabus may be needed to finalize the evaluation process. All accepted transfer credits are applied toward satisfactory academic progress.

International students should contact an Admissions Representative for information about transferring credits from an institution outside of the United States.
Prior Learning Transfer Credit
Bryan University recognizes that knowledge gained outside of a classroom may be relevant to your certificate or degree program. Learning experiences that resulted in achievement of industry-recognized, third- party certificates may be evaluated for course credit. For credit to be considered, you must submit a copy of your earned certificate to either admissions or the registrar who will pass along your supporting evidence to the program director for credit consideration. A student may only receive a maximum of 20% of the credits available in the program as experiential learning credit.
