TRANSFER CREDIT

TRANSFER CREDIT GUIDELINES FOR DOMESTIC UNDERGRADUATE WORK

If you are a transfer student with undergraduate transfer coursework from one or more United States colleges, the transcripts you provide from previously attended domestic colleges will be processed by the Office of the Registrar.  The processing begins after you have been admitted to Purdue University Fort Wayne and transcripts have been received by this office. Please allow 7-10 business days to process your transfer credits.

GUIDELINES FOR EVALUATION
  • For consideration, transfer credit must be represented as course credit on an official transcript from a regionally accredited institution*.
  • Purdue Fort Wayne’s academic departments determine the equivalency of transfer coursework to Purdue Fort Wayne courses.
  • Only college-level courses for which you receive a C− or higher will be considered for transfer.  Courses that are preparatory in nature, often courses with numbers less than 100, do not transfer.
  • Unless a course was completed at another Purdue University campus, only the course credit transfers to Purdue Fort Wayne; the grade does not.
INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER COURSEWORK

International transfer credit will be reviewed by the Office of International Education per guidelines posted in the undergraduate academic catalog.

GRADUATE TRANSFER COURSEWORK

The Office of Graduate Studies will review graduate transfer credit. Graduate transfer credit policies are posted in the current graduate catalog.
