1. Obtain official transcripts
Capella simplifies this step. When you apply for admission to Capella University, you can give Capella permission to request your transcripts from other schools on your behalf.*
*Capella will not be able to obtain your transcript if there is a hold on your record from another university.
2. Credit evaluation
Capella evaluates your previous coursework based on applicability to degree requirements, grades earned and how closely a course matches our courses per department, title, level, credits and description of course content. Courses without a direct Capella match may be evaluated as electives in programs that include electives.*
*Degree levels and programs have maximum transfer credit limits. See Transfer Credit and Credit for Prior Learning Policy for details.
3. Credit evaluation summary
Youâll receive an email with a summary of the courses that have been accepted for transfer each time we receive a new official transcript.
