Students who transfer into a baccalaureate degree program without a previously earned transfer-oriented associate's degree (AA or AS) must fulfill the requirements of the General Education and have a course-by-course evaluation completed. Grand Canyon University will accept a maximum of 90 transfer credits, of which a maximum of 84 can be lower-division credits. Students are required to complete the 120-credit graduation requirement, including the balance of courses specified in the program of study and any elective credits.
Course-by-course transcript evaluations are conducted to determine if courses taken in transfer work equal courses in the student's chosen GCU bachelor degree program. If courses match, the University considers the requirement fulfilled by that equivalency. After the University evaluates the student's transfer credits, the University only applies those transfer credits that fulfill program requirements including general education, electives, and courses in the major.
