Get Credit for What You Bring to the Table

At Campbellsville University, we put your hard-earned college credits to work for you. Once you’re admitted, we’ll complete a transfer credit evaluation to find out which of your past educational experiences can be applied toward your degree. Then, we create a tailored course roadmap you can follow all the way to graduation.
CU recognizes all you’ve accomplished thus far, and we’re excited to help you reach your goals. Request more information to hear from an engagement specialist and find out more about our transfer process. Finish strong with CU.

Transfer Credit Policy

CU’s generous transfer credit policy honors your previous educational experiences by allowing transfer credits to apply to any of our online programs. The table below lists the number of allowable transfer credits for certificates as well as associate, bachelor’s and graduate degrees. After enrolling, you can transfer an additional three credit hours when approved in advance by the director of student records.

To successfully transfer your earned credits to Campbellsville, you must meet the following requirements:

• You must be in good standing and eligible to return to your previous school
• Undergraduate students must have received a grade of D or higher* for the credits they wish to transfer.
• Graduate students must have received a grade of B or higher for the credits they wish to transfer.
• The credits must be from a regionally accredited college or university*

Additionally, you will need to submit an official copy of your high school transcript to the Office of Admissions, unless your college or university transcript shows that you graduated high school.
*If you earned a D in any English composition courses, developmental courses, or courses in your major, minor or area of concentration, you will be required to retake them. Your GPA will be recalculated once you retake any of the courses.
*Credits from non-regionally accredited schools may be approved with permission from the dean and head professor of your chosen program.

“If a student were considering entering Campbellsville University, I would tell them to go for it! It is so worth it. I earned my social work degree as a non-traditional, older student with both a job and a large family to care for –and they can do it too.” — Julia Keeton, BSW

Transfer Credit Evaluation

Once you’re accepted to CU, we’ll complete a transfer credit evaluation to determine how credits will be applied toward your degree. An advisor will examine your transcript and compare the courses you’ve completed to the requirements for your degree program. Then, your credits will be applied to maximize their benefit to you. Before registering for courses, you will receive a tailored course roadmap that highlights the most efficient path to graduation.

“I enrolled in the Master of Theology program because it was fully online and affordable. I was nervous because I had not been in college since 2008. I graduated from the program in nine months, and I was so proud of myself!” — Demetria Gilkey, Master of Theology
