TRANSFER CREDIT PERMISSION
Undergraduates must complete this form BEFORE taking courses at a college or university other than WCU.
The following criteria apply:
• A course will not transfer if it has already been completed or failed at West Chester University.
• All transfer courses must be taken for a letter grade but only course credits, not the grade, will transfer to WCU.
Reminders:
• Transferred courses cannot be used to satisfy the diverse communities or writing emphasis requirements.
• See your academic advisor for all major/minor program requirements.
• You must contact the Office of Financial Aid if you are planning on using financial aid to pay for these courses.
• If you are taking courses off campus and are not enrolled in WCU classes during the fall/spring semester you will not be
verified for enrollment for financial aid eligibility by WCU. If you are not taking courses at an accredited institution
during this time the financial aid loan repayment process will begin.
