Transfer Credits Guidelines
For military students, the Office of Admissions awards transfer credit according to
the guidelines discussed on Webster University’s transfer credits pages. In general,
it is Webster University policy to accept credits earned from Professional Military
Education (PME) institutions and those institutions fully accredited by a regional
accrediting association for colleges and universities, provided that such credits
have been earned through university-level courses appropriate to the student’s degree
program at Webster.
Official military transcripts (joint services transcripts) must be submitted to the
Office of Admissions for evaluation. Coursework recommended for academic college credit
at the lower- or upper-division level by the American Council on Education (ACE) will
be considered for transfer provided that the coursework is applicable to the student’s
degree program. Admissions reserves the right to accept or reject credits earned at
other institutions of higher education. Exceptions are considered for all military
students.
