Transfer students
Coming Students:
If you are transferring into GCU they will review courses completed at another college or university, and credit earned at these institutions may be applied to a degree program offered at Grand Canyon University based on their transfer policies.
Transcript Pre-Evaluation - in as little as 48 hours, a specialist can evaluate your unofficial transcripts and determine how these credits will be applied to the general education component of your desired program.
Lifelong Learning Assessment - provides the opportunity to earn up to 8 general education or elective credits, where students demonstrate the mastery of already acquired college-level knowledge in a specific subject area based on a life experience.
Military - For those who have served in the armed forces, you may be able to transfer credits from alternative methods of earning college credits including CLEP, DANTES, Excelsior, AP and IB. In addition, GCU may award an additional 30 credits for military training and experience as included on the ARMY/ACE REGISTRY TRANSCRIPT SYSTEM (AARTS) and SAILOR/MARINE/ACE REGISTRY TRANSCRIPT (SMART). In conjunction with the other alternative credit methods, military students may transfer in up to 60 credits (30 military training and 30 alternative credit methods). Credits earned above 60 credits, must transfer in from a regionally, accredited institution.
Testing - National testing exams including CLEP, Prometric DSST Exams, Excelsior College Examinations and the Berlitz Language Evaluation offer you another choice to demonstrate mastery of course content, without sitting through the class. By taking any of these national tests, you can earn up to 30 credits towards your bachelor degree at Grand Canyon University.
Articulation Agreements - An Articulation is an agreement between a two-year college and Grand Canyon University which creates a systematic and seamless student transition process for the student to GCU. These are designed to match coursework between schools to maximize use of resources, minimize content duplication, and help students make a smooth transition when transferring into Grand Canyon University.
Any student transferring to GCU this fall with at least a 3.0 GPA qualifies for an academic scholarship ranging from $3,000 to $7,000 per year. These scholarships are offered in conjunction with a host of other academic, athletic and program scholarships, ranging from $1,000 to $10,000.
For example, a transfer student with a 3.5 GPA qualifies for an automatic $7,000 per-school-year Transfer President's Scholarship. If that student wants to study secondary education, he or she will also receive a College of Education Scholarship of $4,000 per school year. The student's tuition cost for the year: $5,500, rather than GCU's published $16,500 tuition price, which is the same for in-state and out-of-state students.
Grand Canyon University has formed articulation agreements with a number of two-year colleges, matching the coursework between the two schools to maximize the use of resources, minimize duplicate coursework and help students make a smooth transition when transferring to Grand Canyon University.
