Transfer Evaluation guidelines for Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education

Information about Transcript Evaluation
A transcript evaluation is completed once official transcripts from all previously attended institutions have been received by WGU. Please note that transcripts must be sent to WGU directly from the issuing institution to be considered official. WGU does not perform unofficial evaluations or accept unofficial transcripts. The guidelines below will provide a good indication of the expected transfer credit. Official transcript evaluations will occur in the month prior to your start. Transcripts are processed in the order they are received. Please contact your Enrollment Counselor if it has been more than 15 business days since your transcripts have been received and you have not received an evaluation. Transfer credit will not be awarded for transcripts received after your first term start date. All transfer credit is specific to your current degree pathway. Should you decide to change programs at any time a new evaluation will be completed, and the appropriate credit will be awarded for the new program.
COURSES ACCEPTED FOR TRANSFER CREDIT: Must be college level from an Institution accredited by an Institutional Accreditor (as listed by the U.S. Department of Education). For a list of USDE Institutional Accreditor agencies, see: Click here for a list of USDE Institutional Accreditor agencies. Must have been awarded a grade of C or better. May not be used to fulfill more than one course of study. Must meet the competency unit and content equivalency requirements.
COURSES SATISFIED BY AN ASSOCIATE OR BACHELOR’S DEGREE: Where transfer credit does not apply, courses may be satisfied by degree. Courses can be satisfied by an Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, Bachelor of Arts, or Bachelor of Science from a regionally accredited WGU partner institution. (Accrediting agency recognized by The U.S. Department of Education) In certain cases, the degree must be in a specific field of study. Satisfied by degree does not apply to all courses or programs at WGU. A change in majors at WGU may result in the removal of credit.
