Leighton University's new students often bring college credit from many years ago or from multiple schools. We value your past college experience and want to help you transfer your credit toward a Leighton degree so you can fast track your path to graduation. Leighton has a generous transfer policy. Leighton University can accept official copies of transcripts from previous educational institutions for a course-by-course evaluation that compares the context of transferable courses to those in Leighton University catalog to tell you what is comparable, and that is transferable.

Transfer Policy

Get transfer credits you deserve from your previous college or university so you can earn a bachelor's faster. If you've taken courses at an approved two-year community college, you may be able to apply these credits toward an associate's (for military and veteran students) or bachelor's degree. You can transfer up to 45 credits toward an associate's or up to 70 credits toward a bachelor's from approved two-year colleges or universities or from other combined sources (including credit by examination, military education and training, or other fast paths to credit). You can transfer up to 90 credit hours towards a bachelors degree program from a four-year college.

Transfer Credit Reporting

The information recorded on the transfer credit evaluation, including the transfer of credits and the transfer GPA, becomes part of the student’s permanent record at Leighton University. The official Leighton transcript that is sent out to other institutions does not include the transfer GPA or a detailed listing of the transfer credit Leighton University awarded, it merely lists the other colleges the student has attended and the total number of transfer credits awarded. Transfer grades are not included in the Leighton GPA.
