Transfer Guidelines for the Bachelors of Science in Nursing - PreLicensure (Pre-nursing)

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. Transfer credit awarded for Business, Information Technology, or Health Professions College programs may not apply if a program change is made to the WGU Teacher’s College.
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 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, Associate of Applied Science, Bachelor of Arts, or Bachelor of Science from a Regionally or Nationally accredited 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.
