Transfer Credit

A Step Ahead in Your Nursing Program

It’s possible (and common) to transfer college credit into degree-granting programs at Galen. Most students have at least one transcript to send us.

If you have general education credits eligible for transfer, you’re a step closer to your next nursing degree. During the application process, you send us your official transcripts from prior college work. We review those transcripts and identify which credits may be transferred.

You may want some idea of what will transfer before then. Talk to your enrollment counselor—they are available to review an unofficial transcript to predict which credits are likely to transfer to Galen.

Transfer Frequently Asked Questions

For new students: You may have already completed some general education courses elsewhere. Find out if they transfer to Galen:

  1. Request that each school, college, or university you attended sends an official copy of your transcript directly to Galen.
  2. Before you sign your Galen enrollment agreement, you must have your transfer credits approved.

We don’t accept developmental, pre-licensure, or nursing courses taken prior to achieving an RN license for transfer.

We use TES®, the Transfer Evaluation System from CollegeSource, to evaluate transfer credit. If you have college credits, check for them on TES®. The equivalencies shown are for informational purposes only and are subject to change due to curriculum changes.

For readmissions: To transfer into a different nursing program, you will still need to apply via the readmissions application if you have previously attended Galen. You will not need to apply as a new student. Contact your Registrar to initiate the transfer request. Make note of the program you would like to transfer into on your readmission application.

Please note, this does not apply to online programs.

For current students: You may be able to transfer to a different campus. Contact your Registrar to initiate the transfer request.

For readmissions: To transfer to another Galen campus location, you will still need to apply via the readmissions application if you have previously attended Galen. Make note of the campus you would like to transfer into on your readmission application.

Please note, this does not apply to online programs.
