Transfer Credit Policy

Wilmington University accepts for transfer a maximum of 90 hours towards a bachelor’s degree and 30 hours towards an associate’s degree. Some of the transfer credits may not apply towards a specific degree. Transferability of this learning content and/ or credit may be assessed for equivalency to required course competency. At least 30 credits of the 120 credit program of study must be upper level (300-400 level) at Wilmington University.

Transfer credits accepted from colleges and universities must be from an accredited institution that is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) earned with a grade of “C” or better. For students with conferred associate’s degrees, there are certain circumstances where grades less than a “C” may be accepted.

A transfer student with a cumulative GPA of less than 2.0 will be interviewed by an academic representative to determine appropriate course schedule.

Specific transfer credit policies may apply to particular programs within each college. All transfer credits that are being applied to any College of Education degree program that contributes to eligibility for licensure as a Delaware educator must be from a REGIONALLY accredited institution. The six regional accrediting agencies are: MSCHE; NCACS HLS; NEASC; NWCCU; SACS; WASC.
