PATHS University recognizes the value of coursework students have completed at other institutions. Transfer credit is evaluated based on the University's academic policies and the requirements of the student's selected degree program.
- Institution attended
- Official academic transcript
- Course title and description
- Credit hours earned
- Grade earned
- Course equivalency
- Applicability to the student's selected program
- Current degree requirements
Important: Submission of a transcript does not automatically guarantee that all previously completed coursework will transfer or apply toward a student's degree. The final determination is made by the appropriate PATHS University academic and administrative offices.
