Credit for Previous Education, Training
You may be closer to
earning
your degree, diploma, or certificate than you think. Kaplan
University will consider accepting transfer credit from accredited
postsecondary institutions, various certification exams, and military
training and experience. Students applying for credit in any of the
categories described below must complete a Credit for Previous
Education, Training, Work Experience (Experiential Learning), or CLEP
form and submit official transcripts, course descriptions, and other
supporting documentation prior to admission as required on the form.
Previous Education or Training
Course credit may be transferred from any Kaplan educational
institution upon a student's acceptance to the receiving Kaplan
educational institution. The transfer of credit award will be based on:
- courses that have a grade of "C" or better;
- course descriptions, objectives, or outcomes;
- core/major courses that apply to the program; and
- conversions from quarter to semester credit systems, or vice versa,
that follow common practices for academic credit conversions. Course to
course transfers based on course objectives or outcomes can be made in
lieu of the academic credit conversions.
Credit cannot be transferred until an official transcript is
submitted to the Kaplan Higher Education institution evaluating the
transfer credit.
Students transferring from any Kaplan educational institution must
complete a minimum of 25 percent of the course credit at the Kaplan
Higher Education institution awarding the graduation credential.
