| Transfer Credit Conversion | transfer_credit | Transfer Credit Conversion WCU operates on a semester calendar system.

For quarter transfer institutions, the University awards .67 semester credits per quarter credit hour of study.

| Transfer of Credit | transfer_credit | Transfer of Credit All college-level credits from regionally accredited institutions will be awarded transfer credit. A list of recognized accrediting organizations may be found on the Registrar's website . Credit for work completed at non-regionally accredited institutions, such as that from military training may be awarded when accompanied by a transcript from the American Council on Education (ACE) or Joint Services Commission Transcript (JST). Credits from non-regionally accredited institutions may also be granted on the recommendation of the student’s major department, in consultation with the college dean and Registrar's Office. (See also Admission to West Chester and Taking Courses Off Campus .) Official transcripts are evaluated by the Office of the Registrar . 1. Grades of D- or above will be accepted for transfer credit. 2. Grades in a course submitted for transfer as a major and/or minor program requirement must meet the minimum grade required by the department. For example, if a program requires that a student earn a B or better in a major and/or minor program requirement, then the student requesting transfer credit from another institution must have earned a minimum of a B in the equivalent course. If a student earns a lower grade than the requirement, the department may require that the course be repeated at West Chester University. 3. Students cannot receive transfer credit for the same course more than once. Individual courses cannot be duplicated for transfer credit. This applies to credit earned through an external institution, test credit or other source. Equivalencies designated as "repeatable" for credit may be exempt. See the course descriptions for the "repeatable for credit" designation. 4. Students can appeal evaluation decisions through the Transfer Credit Appeal process. (See Transfer Credit Forms .) 5. If a student changes their major and/or minor, grades originally approved for transfer will be re-evaluated by the new major/minor department. 6. No course equivalency transfer credit will be given for WCU courses numbered at the 400 level, unless the courses are taken at an institution that awards baccalaureate degrees. 7. Departments have the right to accept courses for their majors as 199 (e.g., BIO 199 or TRN 199). | 2026-2027 | catalog.wcupa.edu |
