Transfer College Credits

Your prior college credits and experience can help you save time and money on your education, shortening the path to your Purdue Global degree. It’s time to finish what you started.

5 Ways to Get the Credit You Deserve

Purdue University Global offers several paths designed to help you earn college credit for what you already know. After reviewing these potential paths to gain college credit, you might find your degree is a lot closer than you think:

      1. Earn credit for eligible work and life experiences.
      2. Assess your skills and test out of courses you have mastered.*
      3. Transfer the credits you earned at prior institutions.
      4. Convert military training into college credit.
      5. Earn credit through completed professional certifications or training.

Students applying for credit in any of these categories must submit official transcripts, course descriptions, and supporting documentation to the Office of the Registrar prior to the official awarding of credit. Purdue Global cannot guarantee acceptance of credit from any of these sources. Please see the Purdue Global Catalog for additional information.

Transfer Community College Credits

Our Community College Alliance Program helps you maximize your transfer credits and shorten the path toward a bachelor’s degree.

Purdue Global has relationships with several community colleges. If you are transferring from one of these colleges, you could benefit from a shorter path to your Purdue Global degree and may be eligible for a tuition grant. Faculty and staff may also qualify for tuition benefits on master’s degrees and certificate programs.

Contact an Admissions Advisor at 866-397-9456 to find out if Purdue Global has an academic alliance with your community college and to learn more about how to transfer your college credits.
