Credit for Previous Education and Training

If you are applying for credit in any of the categories described below, you must complete a Credit for Previous Education, Training, Work Experience (Experiential Learning), or CLEP form and submit official transcripts, course descriptions, and other supporting documentation prior to the first day of the course as required on the form.

Although all students are encouraged to apply for credit, you must complete the request form if you will be using veterans’ benefits to attend the University. The University will grant appropriate credit, shorten the duration of the course proportionately, and notify you and VA accordingly.

Transfer of Credit Between Kaplan Higher Education Institutions

Course credits may be transferred between Kaplan Higher Education institutions upon acceptance to the receiving Kaplan Higher Education institution. The transfer of credit award will be based on:

  • courses that have a grade of "C" or better;
  • course descriptions, objectives, or outcomes;
  • core/major courses that apply to the program;
  • and conversions from quarter to semester credit systems, or vice versa, that follow common practices for academic credit conversions.

Credit cannot be transferred until an official transcript is submitted to the Kaplan Higher Education institution evaluating the transfer credit.

If you are transferring from a Kaplan Higher Education institution you must complete a minimum of 25 percent of the course credits at the Kaplan Higher Education institution awarding the graduation credential.
