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.
- We provide a free one-on-one credit evaluation of your nursing degree and other college coursework. When you meet with an admissions counselor, bring a copy of your transcripts to receive an unofficial evaluation.
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.
