Transfer Student Academic Advising
Once you are enrolled at WCU, you will be assigned a major advisor within your declared major. In addition to a major advisor, our Academic Success & Advocacy team is here to support you.
What can you do be prepared?
- Make sure you send WCU a copy of all your final transcripts, including any conferred degrees.
- Review your Transfer Credit Summary Card and Degree Audit
- Review your degree and major requirements in the WCU catalog
Transfer Credit Evaluation Timing
Once you have been accepted to WCU, the transfer credit team within the Registrar's Office will review your transcript and post your awarded credits.
WCU aims to award credit for all successfully complete credits from accredited institutions. We also have opportunities to earn credit from test scores (AP, IB, CLEP, DSST) and PLA (Prior Learning).
Once you are accepted, you can expect transfer credit evaluation to be completed within 2 weeks. Check your WCU email address for a notification that your evaluation.
Evaluation Reminders
- Don't leave credits on the table! If a transcript you sent during admission had courses in-progress or you have completed additional courses, send an updated transcript to WCU.
- Did you earn your Associate's Degree? Make sure the transcript you sent to WCU has the awarded degree listed you can be considered for Academic Passport
Transfer Tools for You!
At WCU, we want you to have access to your student information when you need it!
Transfer Credit Summary Card
In RamPortal we have developed a summary of all your transferred credit to WCU. If you have transfer credit from multiple institutions, test credits, and/or military credit, it will all appear in one place and will continue to get updated as more transfer credit is evaluated. More information about the Transfer Credit Summary Card.
Degree Audit
Once you are an accepted student, you have access to your Degree Audit. However, until you have either your transfer credit posted or WCU courses registered, no requirements will be complete. The Degree Audit is a great tool that allows you to:
- See outstanding and completed requirements
- Review advising notes left by your advisor or the Registrar's Office
- Plan courses to complete your requirements in future semesters
