Credit transfer

I've studied before. Can I receive credit?

Starting August 1, 2022, Nexford University will begin reviewing requests from learners for transfer credit. In order for transfer credit to be awarded, an official transcript from awarding institution must be submitted for review. Learners may review the transfer credit policy and any transfer credit review fee in the University catalog.

Are Nexford courses credit-bearing?

Yes, all Nexford courses are credit bearing.

Do I need to have work experience to apply?

No. If you have work experience, that's great, but you don't need it. Nexford's programs are practical, which means you'll gain on-the-job skills while you learn.

If you do have work experience, we won't be able to offer credit just yet. We want everyone to start their program on a level playing field – that includes taking the same core courses and building the same foundational skills.

What is the transfer credit policy?

Can I transfer credits to another university?

Want to transfer your Nexford credits elsewhere? Each university has it's own credit transfer policy, so we recommend you contact them directly as it is the decision of the receiving school if transfer credits are approved.
