## Transferring to Arizona College

If you’ve started your healthcare education at another accredited school, you
might be able to transfer those credits. Transferring credits can get you on
track to complete your program in less time and at a lower cost.

## How to Apply for Transfer Credit

You’ll need to request two things from your previous institution(s) to apply for
transfer credit:

1. An official transcript
2. A copy of the course catalog

Keep in mind these materials must be received before transfer credit will be
awarded.

## Healthcare Programs Credit Transfer Eligibility

Transfer credit granted based on course and grade earned within completed
timeframes. Allied Health official transcripts must be received from the former
institution prior to a student’s first term or no transfer credits are
officially granted for that term.

The transfer institution must be accredited by an agency recognized by the
United States Department of Education (USDE) or the Council for Higher Education
Accreditation (CHEA).

Arizona College: Transfer credit is granted only for courses in which a letter
grade of “C” or higher was earned.

Course descriptions from a former institution’s catalog are analyzed and credit
is accepted for those successfully completed courses that closely follow course
content and duration of courses. Courses in a student’s major must meet the same
general course objectives.

Arizona College curriculum courses with a lab component must have been completed
within 2 years of starting classes at Arizona College.

Arizona College curriculum courses without lab components must have been
completed within 5 years of starting classes at Arizona College
