Transfer Credit Toward Advanced Standing
Students may obtain advanced standing toward degree and certificate programs at City University of Seattle by transferring the following types of credit:
- Appropriate courses satisfactorily completed at regionally or nationally recognized institutions.
- Acceptable scores on standardized examinations in college-level subjects.
- Completion of formal non-collegiate sponsored instructional programs.
- Courses evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE) and other agencies.
- Credit earned from an institution that has an approved, joint-delivered, dual-delivery, bilateral or partnered articulation agreement with City University of Seattle.
- CityU assessment of prior experiential learning at the postsecondary level.
Credits designated as continuing education by another institution or organization are not accepted in transfer toward CityU degree and certificate programs.
In the higher education system, transferability of credit is determined by the receiving institution taking into account such factors as course content, grades, accreditation, and licensing. For this reason, City University does not imply, promise, or guarantee that credits earned will be accepted by another college or university. If the credits or credential(s) that you earn at CityU are not accepted at the institution to which you seek to transfer, you may be required to repeat some or all of your coursework at that institution. Students considering transferring to another college or university are responsible for determining whether that school will accept CityU credits. Students are encouraged to initiate discussions with potential transfer schools as early as possible.
