Transfer Credit

Trinity Western University supports the goals of students seeking transfer credit, desires to maintain a transfer-friendly stance towards students, and wishes to encourage students to transfer to TWU. The University reserves the right to accept only courses that comply with the academic standards established by TWU. The University will only transfer credits from recognized colleges and universities or schools that are accredited, including Bible colleges accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE).

For initial transfer evaluation, TWU will only approve course transfer credits upon receipt of an official transcript. The maximum number of semester hours accepted for transfer credit from post-secondary institutions is 75. The minimum grade for all courses considered for transfer credit is a D (53%). Certain programs may require a minimum letter grade for transfer credit that is higher than a D. In cases where a lower grade than the minimum required is achieved, no credit will be granted.

Various individual transfer credit maximums and restrictions for accredited Bible colleges/institutes of technology and applied arts are detailed in the Transfer Students section of the Academic Calendar.

TWU reserves the right to change the transfer credit policy without notice.

• A maximum of 9 credit hours of upper-level courses may be transferred to a student’s major.
• A maximum of 6 credit hours of upper-level courses may be transferred to a student’s concentration.
