General Education Information for Transfer Students

Professional Undergraduate Students (Regional Locations or Online)

Students transferring to Azusa Pacific University may have some of their general education (GE) requirements met by courses taken at their previous institution(s). Additionally, certain GE requirements may be waived depending on the number of units transferred to APU, or based on completion of Cal-GETC, IGETC, CSU Breadth, or an ADN. 

For professional undergraduate students, transfer work evaluation is conducted by the Office of the Registrar. While the charts below serve as guides, it is the responsibility of the student to ensure that all requirements are met.

All students who re-enroll at APU after leaving APU and spending two or more consecutive semesters at another academic institution may have those transferable units applied toward their total transfered units referenced in the table below. Only units transferred at re-enrollment will be considered.
