We encourage all students to visit Wheelock and meet with an admissions representative. We welcome the chance to work with you and help you explore the opportunities at Wheelock. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns.

Transfer Credits

As a transfer student, you will receive credit for college level courses taken at accredited institutions if you received grades of "C" or better. While an informal credit evaluation may be done at the interview stage, you will receive a formal, written credit evaluation from our office 2-3 weeks after you have been accepted to Wheelock.

It is important that you send us course descriptions from each college attended. This will ensure an accurate and quick evaluation. Our transfer coordinator will work closely with you even after you enroll at Wheelock to be sure you receive the most credits possible in your transition. All transfer students must complete a minimum of 67 credits at Wheelock in order to earn a degree.

Getting a Transfer Credit Evaluation

Generally, transfer credit evaluations are done after you are accepted to Wheelock. You will receive your transfer credit evaluation approximately two to three weeks after you receive your acceptance packet. If you have specific questions before you receive an acceptance packet, contact our transfer coordinator.
