Transferring Undergraduate Credits

Adhering to the PA Board of Governors (BOG) Student Transfer Policy, all college-level credits with a passing grade from post-secondary institutions with accreditation recognized by the US Department of Education will be accepted in transfer. PennWest does not set a maximum number of credits to be accepted—however, the Residency requirement dictates that you must complete 30 of the last 60 semester hours through PennWest for a bachelor's degree and/or 15 of the last 30 semester hours for an associate's degree. In addition, 50% of the major course requirements must be from a PA State System university.

To turn your associate degree into a bachelor's degree, take advantage of Pennsylvania's statewide Program-to-Program (P2P) Agreements. They allow students who graduate with specified associate degrees to transfer as juniors into bachelor degrees in similar fields of study at PennWest. More information on Program-to-Program agreements can be found at www.patrac.org.
