Transfer Credit
Approval for Transferring Courses (Current APU Students)
Students wishing to take courses at another institution while enrolled at APU should obtain prior approval from the registrar. Without written prior approval from the registrar, transfer credits may be denied, per the Undergraduate Catalog.
A completed Transfer Inquiry Form (PDF)* is required to obtain permission from the Registrar’s office to take a class at another institution while attending APU.
Please note: No Transfer Inquiry Form is needed for courses that are transferred from institutions with articulation agreements with APU. Please see below.
Process:
- Fill out and complete the Transfer Inquiry Form* (TIF).
- Attach a copy of the course description and/or syllabus. Course descriptions can be obtained from the institution’s academic catalog or you may go online to www.collegesource.org for academic catalogs from schools throughout the country.
- Turn in your completed TIF to the Office of the Undergraduate Registrar. You should expect to receive a response in approximately two weeks.
Turning in a TIF does not guarantee that the transferred units will be accepted. Additionally, students must receive a grade of C- or higher in the course to transfer it to APU.

Articulation Agreements (Current and Prospective APU Students)
Course-to-course articulation agreements identify individual courses or sequences of courses at a sending institution that are comparable to, or "acceptable in lieu of," a corresponding course or sequence of courses at APU. These include not only General Studies requirements, but also lower-division requirements for a major or minor.
