TRANSFER CREDITS
Whether you are transferring recently earned credits or returning to college after years away, we will work with you to simplify the process.
- Nursing students receive up to 34-semester credits for nursing classes completed in an RN nursing program. Augsburg is a transfer-friendly university, and accepts transfer credits determined by the Registrar’s Office.
- Augsburg accepts transfer credit from other institutions accredited by the Higher Learning Commission that offer courses leading to an Associate of Arts or Bachelor of Arts degree.
- Students must earn a grade of “C-” or better in order for a course to be accepted in transfer at Augsburg.
- Augsburg’s general education courses are outlined here. Most Associate of Science in Nursing candidates have block transfer options including waivers for liberal arts electives.
We also accept credit by exam or CLEP (College Level Examination Program) credit. This allows you to earn credit for previous work or for experience that may not be reflected on your transcript.
Math Placement Requirement
Incoming students will have their math placement group (MPG) determined. In some cases, students who have transferred a mathematics course taken at another college may be exempt. All other students must take the Augsburg Math Placement Exam with a passing score of MP3. The following courses may be transferred in for the math placement exemption:
- MP5: one of more semesters of college-level Calculus or higher, Discrete Mathematics, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations
- MP4: Pre-Calculus
- MP3: College Algebra
*trigonometry, statistics, logic, or business mathematics are NOT accepted to fulfill the placement test.
