Get the credit you deserve

Transfer credits from past academic and professional achievements to save time and money. Our flexible transfer policy ensures you maximize every credit toward an undergraduate or graduate degree.

Course credit

Earn credit from equivalent courses completed at a regionally or nationally accredited institution. Nexford also accepts equivalent credits from the American Council on Education (ACE), Sophia Learning, and Straighter Line.

Exam credit

Learners can earn transfer credit from exams they have successfully completed during their learning journey, including AP Exams, College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), DSST/DANTES Exams, and International Baccalaureate (IB).

Professional certifications

Nexford recognizes many industry certifications as Credit for Prior Learning (CPL). Our CPL document provides a full list of certifications we accept. CPL can be used up to 25% of total transfer credits.

Flexible credit matching

Nexford even allows you to earn credit based on broad learning outcomes rather than only using specific course codes.

Through the application process, we'll review all of your external certifications, employer training programs, and prior learning just to see how many relevant skills you might have already earned.
