  • Once your application file is complete and you have been accepted to ESU, you will receive a printed "Transfer Credit Evaluation" of the course work ESU will accept in transfer from your previous institutions.
  • In the meantime, here's some information you may find useful.

Students may transfer credits from institutions accredited by:

  • Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools
  • New England Association of Schools and Colleges
  • North Central Association of Colleges and Schools
  • Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges
  • Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Inc.
  • Western Association of Schools and Colleges
  • Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges
  • Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities
Credits from either non-accredited institutions or institutions not accredited by the above will need to be approved by the relevant ESU academic department and the academic dean.

Credits from Non-US institutions: Students who have transferable credits from a non-US institution, must have their credits evaluated by a professional credential evaluating service .

AP or CLEP Credits will not be taken from college transcripts; an official College Board score report must be sent directly to the Center for Enrollment Services at ESU.

Acceptable Grades: Only credits for courses with a grade of "C-" or better will be consider for transfer credit.

Non-Transferable Credits: Developmental (remedial) courses and those of a specific vocational, technical, occupational, office administrative, or theological nature are not considered transferable.

Final Transfer of Credits: Transferable credits are officially added to a student's ESU record upon receipt of the official final college transcript and upon verification of enrollment (completed course registration).

Transfer Credit Limits: Final approval of courses counting toward your major rests with the chairperson of that department. Some departments have limits on the total number of credits that can be applied to the major field of study. Currently, these include:

  • Computer Science: a maximum transfer of 15 semester hours and no more than 3 semester hours in upper division coursework
  • Media Communications and Technology: a maximum of 9 semester hours
  • Psychology: a maximum of 15 semester hours
  • Philosophy: a maximum of 12 semester hours

Please Note:

  • Be sure to check with your department for the most up-to-date information.
  • Specific requirements for majors, program restrictions, and course offerings may be found in the undergraduate catalog and through the individual department homepages.
