If you are interested in transferring as an undergraduate, master’s, or doctoral student, Drexel Dornsife’s academic advisors can provide guidance on how to receive transfer credit from other accredited colleges and universities.

Find out when and how to apply for transfer credit.

Current students can also receive credit for a course at another institution with permission from their program by contacting their academic advisor.

Transfer of Credit for Incoming Undergraduate Students

All admitted students automatically receive a transfer credit evaluation from Drexel.

Drexel may grant you credit for courses completed at a college or university that is either regionally accredited or a recognized candidate for accreditation according to the Association of Colleges and Schools/Commission on Higher Education.

The evaluation of transfer credits for international students may require the submission of course syllabi and/or course-by-course evaluation by an approved international credential evaluation service.

Learn more about transferring to Drexel and undergraduate transfer credit evaluations on Drexel’s Undergraduate Admissions site.

Transfer of Credit for Incoming Graduate Students

Incoming graduate students who are transferring from an external institution may transfer up to 15 graduate-level quarter credits toward Dornsife degree requirements for their master’s or doctoral program.

When to apply: It is recommended that requests be submitted at the time of application for admission to Dornsife. Requests must be received by the Dornsife advisors at least three weeks prior to the start of the student’s program.

How to apply: Students should complete the Application for Credit Transfer (pdf) form to apply to transfer credit, and submit it to our Dornsife advisors for approval. Students must include an official transcript and course syllabi with the form.

To determine if you are eligible for transfer credit, please consider the following requirements/guidelines:

• Courses must have been completed at a CEPH-accredited institution.
• Courses must have been completed within the past five years.
• All transfer credit must have a grade of B (3.00) or better.
• A maximum of 15 quarter credits may be transferred.
• Coursework outside the scope of the degree program may not be eligible.
• Credits from a conferred degree cannot be transferred.

Transfer credit will not be included in computing the student’s grade point average.
