Transferring Credits
The credit transfer process will vary from student to student. While there is not a definitive way to determine what credits will transfer before you apply, we’ve provided a few examples and guidelines to help you know what to expect with your hard-earned credits:
Gen-Eds
A good rule of thumb to remember is that, generally, gen ed courses usually transfer over; standard course names such as Intro to Psychology, Intro to Sociology, English Composition, or Computational/Conceptual Math are considered gen ed.
AP and CLEP
Cairn accepts AP scores of 3 or above as transferable. Cairn will also accept CLEP tests that score a minimum of 50 points. Learn more about CLEP transfer credits here.
