Undergraduate Transfer Credit Policy and Residency
Requirements

Wilmington University accepts for transfer a maximum of 75 hours* towards a bachelor’s degree and 30 hours towards an associate’s degree. All credits must be from a accredited institution that is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), earned with a grade of “C” or better. A transfer student with a cumulative GPA of less than 2.0 will be interviewed by an academic representative to determine an appropriate course schedule.

All baccalaureate degree programs require a minimum 120 credits, of which 45 credits must be upper division (300-400 level). A minimum of 45 credits* must be completed in residence at Wilmington University.

* Wilmington University limits academic residency to no more than twenty-five percent of the degree requirements for all degrees for active-duty servicemembers. Academic residency can be completed at any time while active-duty servicemembers are enrolled. Reservists and National Guardsmen on active-duty are covered in the same manner.

Graduate Transfer Credit Policy

Up to six credit hours of graduate study from a fully accredited graduate school may be accepted. Students seeking credit for course work completed at other accredited institutions must submit an official transcript sent directly from the institution to Wilmington University and a catalog course description from that institution. Transferred course work must be relevant to the major area of study. Courses graded below a "B" will not be considered. Transfer students need to have all transcripts from other accredited institutions in the possession of the Admissions Office or home site office at least two months prior to registration. Failure to attend to this can result in duplication of courses previously completed at those institutions. Credit will not be granted for course duplication.
