transfer guidelines for Bachelor of Science, Science Education (Secondary Chemistry)

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 coursework from an institutionally accredited (also known as regionally accredited) college or university in the United States as determined by the Department of Education. 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 an Institutional Accreditor. (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.
UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS LEADING TO INITIAL LICENSURE Applicants to undergraduate initial licensure programs must possess a high school diploma or its equivalent AND demonstrate program readiness through one of the following options below: Option 1: Submit transcripts documenting completion of college-level coursework for review of GPA. Option 2: Possess a bachelors or associate degree (A.A or A.S. acceptable) from an accredited post-secondary institution. Option 3: Submit high school transcripts for review of GPA.
Important: The courses listed below are eligible for transfer credit; refer to your program guide for a complete listing of program requirements.
Survey of Pacific Northwest History for Educators' (3 CUs) must be taken by students planning to meet licensure requirements in the state of Washington.
