Degree Program Admissions
Credit Transfer
We encourage all applicants to Bachelor’s Degree, Associate Degree, and Undergraduate Certificate programs to transfer earned college credits from other accredited institutions. With credit transfer, you can get credit for prior education, lower your tuition costs, and accelerate your program. Credit will be accepted for courses that are comparable in level and subject matter to Sessions College degree level courses. Below are school policies on credit transfer for degree level programs.

How Is Credit Transfer Calculated?
Is Credit Transfer Evaluation Included?
- Bachelor’s Degree and Associate Degree: Credit transfer evaluation is included in your application fee.
- Undergraduate Certificate: Any student wishing to transfer credit into the Undergraduate Certificate must provide transcripts and a $75 transfer evaluation fee. Credit transfer will be evaluated on the same basis as the general policies above.
Can I Transfer Credits to Other Schools?
Some students may consider further academic study after completing their Sessions College degrees courses or programs.
While Sessions College is an accredited school, credit transfer is not guaranteed. The acceptance of earned credits is determined by the receiving institution.
If credit transfer is important to you, you should always check with the college or university that you wish to transfer your credits to before you enroll.
