Transfer Credit
If admitted to Philadelphia University, your official college
transcripts will be evaluated for advanced standing. Transfer
students will be admitted with advanced standing provided they have
earned quality credit at an accredited two- or four-year college or
university.
Advance standing is usually granted for credits in equivalent courses in which the student receives a grade of "C-" or better.
Certain courses in the design field may require a portfolio evaluation for final determination of credit.
All transfer credits must be submitted for evaluation prior to enrollment.
