Transfer Credits with Ease

Vaughn College accepts credits for courses taken at a regionally accredited institution with a grade of C or higher. A maximum of 60 credit hours from a two-year institution and 90 credit hours from a four-year institution can be applied towards a degree. Credit acceptance is at the discretion of Vaughn College. For more information about current transfer policies, see the Vaughn College catalog.

Vaughn recently updated the general education curriculum offered by the arts and sciences department that require students to take courses across 10 areas of competency―from oral presentation and ethics to critical thinking and diverse perspectives. These changes offer students more flexibility in their course selections and make coming to Vaughn easier for transfer students. Check out the information for transferring  here.

*Important Note: All courses are subject to review by faculty within the discipline of a course. This may delay the posting of your transfer credit. It is crucial that all transcripts are submitted as early as possible so that your credit will be evaluated prior to registration. Elective credit will be awarded as placeholder credit and will remain on your record unless or until an equivalent Vaughn course has been determined.
