Students transferring to Azusa Pacific University may have some of their General Education requirements met by courses taken at their previous institution(s). Additionally, the unit requirements for Biblical, Theological, and Philosophical Formation (BTPF) may be adjusted, depending on the number of units the student transfers to APU.

Traditional Undergraduate (Azusa) Students

For traditional undergraduate students, the evaluation of a student’s transfer work is conducted by the Student Services Center. All students are encouraged to work with the center and with their academic advisor to determine their General Education requirements. While this chart for traditional undergraduate students serves as a guide for the student, it is the responsibility of the student to ensure that all requirements are met. For the most current information, visit the Academic Success Center.

The Personal Wellness requirement is waived for traditional undergraduate students who transfer in 60+ units.

Professional Undergraduate (Regional Locations, Online) Students

For professional undergraduate students, the evaluation of a student’s transfer work is conducted by the Office of the Registrar. While this chart for professional undergraduate students serves as a guide for the student, it is the responsibility of the student to ensure that all requirements are met.

All students who reenroll at APU after leaving APU and spending two or more consecutive semesters at another academic institution may have those transferable units applied toward their General Education Biblical, Theological, and Philosophical Formation (BTPF) requirements. Only units transferred at reenrollment will be considered.

For professional undergraduate students at regional locations or in distance education programs, the Personal Wellness requirement is waived regardless of units.

Proof of a posted Associate’s Degree in Nursing (ADN) from a regionally accredited institution meets the majority of General Education requirements, including most of the Intellectual and Practical Skills, Knowledge of Human Cultures and the Physical and Natural World, and Personal and Social Responsibility requirements. The ADN does not meet the Writing 3 requirement, the Integrative and Applied Learning requirement, and the Upper-Division Bible requirement, but RN to BSN students can meet these requirements via program coursework (RNRS 458, RNRS 482P, and RNRS 396, respectively).
