Thinking About It
Considering starting or returning to school can be exciting and also overwhelming. Finding the right program, understanding transfer credit, and learning about financial aid options all include thinking through a lot of detail.

Whether you are interested in learning more about program options, want an evaluation of previously earned college credit, or have questions that you need additional guidance with, we are here to help you explore services and program options.

You can request an unofficial transfer credit evaluation. Include program of interest (if identified) and attach a copy of all unofficial transcripts where credit was earned. NOTE: transfer credit listed on a transcript will not be included in the evaluation to ensure accuracy.
You can also use Transferology to evaluate your credit on your own.
