Transfer Credit & Prior Learning

Transferring Credits
  • A maximum of 135 quarter (90-semester units) transfer units can be credited toward your BA degree at AUSB. The BA Program is a degree completion program designed for students who have already earned some college credit. To apply, prospective students are expected to have earned at least 36 quarter (24 semesters) units of general education credit at an accredited institution of higher education. The formal process for evaluating previously earned units for transfer begins in the admission process.
  • A maximum of 57 quarter (38 semester) units may come from any one department.
  • All transfer units must be awarded prior to registration for the final quarter at AUSB.
  • Students can concurrently enroll in up to 12 semester units.
  • A maximum of 6 quarter (4 semester) units may be accepted in physical activities courses.
  • A maximum of 12 quarter or 8 semester units may be accepted in English as a Second Language (ESL) courses.
  • A maximum of 30 quarter (20 semester) units may be accepted for any of the optional Concentrations.
Prior Experiential Learning

AUSB students have the option of earning college‐level credit for learning done outside of college. Prior Learning Assessment is the process of earning college credit for college-level learning acquired from other sources, such as work experience, professional training, military training, or open source learning from the web.  AUSB accepts credits awarded through Learning Counts.

  • Prior Learning Assessment units may be utilized if a student does not have the maximum of 135 quarter units upon transfer, and only to reach 135 quarter unit transfer total, and not to exceed 45 quarter units.
