Transfer Information
Transfer Evaluation
Dunwoody accepts course credits from other regionally or nationally accredited higher education institutions. Transfer evaluations done by other institutions are not accepted. Only course work earned at the institution issuing the official transcript will be evaluated. Courses will be considered for transfer if they meet the following criteria.
- Send official transcripts from all previously attended colleges to Admissions department.
- Registrar’s Office evaluates official transcripts for potential transfer credits.
- Students will be notified of their evaluation via their Dunwoody email address.
Students may be asked to provide a syllabus listing the course description and competencies of coursework.
Students can see the transfer credits on their Academic Plan and Dunwoody transcript at my.dunwoody.edu. Transfer courses will have a grade of TR. Transfer credits will not be computed into cumulative GPA. However, they will impact student’s Satisfactory Academic Progress pace for completion.

AP, CLEP, AND IB Transfer Credits
Dunwoody awards transfer credits to students who have completed and passed the official exams for Advanced Placement (AP), College Level Examination Program (CLEP), and International Baccalaureate (IB).
Specific course credit is awarded when exam content is comparative in nature and material to a Dunwoody course. Credit amounts and equivalences are based off national guidelines and the current Dunwoody catalog and are subject to change. In accordance with Dunwoody’s transfer policy, credit is only awarded when applicable to the student’s Academic Plan. General elective credit will be granted when there are no other places to apply credit on a student’s academic plan (arts & sciences courses only).
