Transfer of Credits from Other Colleges and Universities

Applicants desiring to transfer to Herzing University from other colleges must have official transcripts sent to Herzing University from those colleges. It is best if Herzing University receives official transcripts before class starts so that proper schedules can be prepared. This is typically done during the admission process prior to the beginning of the first semester but must be done by the end of the first eight weeks of the first semester. For a degree or diploma to be awarded by Herzing University, the last 12 semester credit hours and at least 25 percent of the total credits required for the degree/diploma must be taken at Herzing University. Also, the total number of credits transferred to Herzing University plus course exemption credits must not exceed 75 percent of the credits required for a degree/diploma.

To receive credit for any course taken elsewhere,
the following applies:

1. The course for which credit is being sought must have been taken at an accredited post-secondary institution and must be comparable to the course at Herzing University for which transfer credits are being sought.
2. The student must have earned a grade of at least a “C” or better in that course.
3. The proper authorities at Herzing University must receive the official transcript.

A catalog or official description of the course from the previous college is needed. As always, the acceptance of transfer credit is entirely at the discretion of the receiving college. In addition to the grade received, the length of time since the course was taken will be considered.

Transfer of Credit to Other Colleges and Universities

The decision to accept credit from another institution is entirely at the discretion of the receiving institution. Students should check with the school to which they desire to transfer regarding the credit they will transfer. In the absence of an articulation agreement between Herzing University and another institution, no one at Herzing University can represent that specific credits will transfer anywhere. A list of the institutions, if any, with whom Herzing University has articulation agreements is available in the administrative office of the University.
