Credit transfer
I've studied before. Can I receive credit?
Nexford University started reviewing requests for transfer credit beginning August 1, 2022. An official transcript from the awarding institution must be submitted for review. You may also be required to secure a credential evaluation report if you studied at an institution outside US or Canada. If you are interested to apply or if you need more information about transfer credits, send an email to our Registrar’s Office at registrar@nexford.org.
Learners may review the transfer credit policy and any transfer credit review fee in the University catalog.
What is the transfer credit policy?
Nexford University implemented the transfer credit policy on August 1, 2022. Applicants who earned credits for their undergraduate or graduate study may apply for transfer upon review of their official transcript. Comprehensive information about our transfer credit policy, fee, grade requirements and maximum allowable credits for transfer are indicated in our Nexford academic catalog.
Can I transfer credits to another university?
Want to transfer your Nexford credits elsewhere? Each university has it's own credit transfer policy, so we recommend you contact them directly as it is the decision of the receiving school if transfer credits are approved.
Do I need to have work experience to apply?
No. If you have work experience, that's great, but you don't need it. Nexford's programs are practical, which means you'll gain on-the-job skills while you learn.
If you do have work experience, we won't be able to offer credit just yet. We want everyone to start their program on a level playing field – that includes taking the same core courses and building the same foundational skills.
I have earned credits from an institution outside US and Canada. Do I need to submit anything else aside from my official transcript?
If you have studied at an institution outside US or Canada, you may be required to secure a credential evaluation report. Nexford University only accepts evaluation reports from credential services recognized by National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) or Association of International Credentials Evaluators (AICE).
We’ve partnered with International Education Evaluations (IEE) to help you secure an official evaluation report at a discounted amount. You can check out our landing page on IEE’s website to start your application. If you want us to process the evaluation report with IEE upon receipt of your official transcript, please send an email to our Registrar’s Office at registrar@nexford.org for more details.
Is there a fee for transfer credit application?
Yes. The transfer credit review fee is $50.
