Transfer of Credit

Admitted students may transfer in up to 30 units of prior graduate work offered at other institutions if the classes are similar to courses offered in the PAU program. Prior coursework cannot be more than 5 years old. Transfer coursework is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Students must submit a course description and syllabus for each transfer course. A Palo Alto University faculty member then reviews the documentation, and either accepts or rejects the course for transfer credit. Students have access to the transfer unit request form after they confirm their enrollment in the program.
