You may be closer to graduation than you think. Kaplan Career Institute will consider accepting transfer credit from accredited postsecondary institutions, various certification exams, and military training and experience. Upon evaluation of your transcript, credit may be awarded for courses successfully completed from another accredited postsecondary institution. Transcripts from foreign institutions must meet the same requirements as domestic institutions and must be translated. Kaplan Career Institute does not guarantee the transferability of credit from any of these sources.
Transfer of Credit Between Kaplan Higher Education Institutions
Course credit may be transferred from any Kaplan Higher Education institutions upon a student's acceptance to the receiving Kaplan Higher Education institution. The transfer of credit award will be based on:
- courses which 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.
