Transferring Credits

Transferring College Credits
 

Do you have college credits that you worked hard to earn and hope to transfer? At Ottawa University, we make it easy for you to transfer credits. We recognize and value the time and investment required to complete those credits. In fact, the majority of our online students have transferred from another school. That's why we accept up to 80 hours of transfer credits towards your bachelor’s degree. At Ottawa University, transfer credits completed successfully at regionally accredited institutions of higher education are accepted.

Our enrollment advisors will perform a transfer credit evaluation for you free of charge to help you determine how your transfer credits will be applied to your degree program of choice. Transfer credits can be applied to fulfill our breadth area requirements (i.e. general education classes such as math, english composition, psychology, sociology, public speaking, etc.), toward major requirements, or as elective credit. Courses applied toward the breadth area or major requirements must be completed with a grade of C or higher.

Ottawa University will require and evaluate all official transcripts and award credit towards the bachelor's degree in accordance with credit transfer guidelines. 

You can request information or call us at 855-774-7714 today to connect with an enrollment advisor for your FREE transfer credit evaluation.
