Understanding How Credit Will Transfer
Depending on the program or experience completed and approved by ACE, students may apply those credits to major and/or general elective hours, if applicable.
For work already completed, students can move forward with ordering the transcript from ACE. Once submitted, your transcript will be reviewed to determine how the credit will transfer.
If a student is considering taking an exam or course that has been reviewed by ACE, and they haven't yet completed the work, they should work with their primary academic advisor first to determine if the credit will be accepted and how it may apply toward requirements.
