Academic standing is based on the student’s grade point average (GPA) according to grades obtained from all courses, including those from Field Experience (EDFE) courses.
Visit the Academic Standing page for more information.
If you have previously completed undergraduate courses/degree, you may qualify for some advance standing; however, transfer credits will only be assessed once you successfully transfer. Once finalized, you will receive a cumulative record outlining which courses have been accepted for transfer/equivalency and which courses you will need to take to complete your program. Transfer credits will only be granted for appropriate courses passed with a grade of ‘C’ or better.
Visit the Advanced Standing & Transfer Credits page for more information.
