What Credit Transfer Means

Credit transfer, sometimes called transfer credit or credit recognition, is the process through which previously earned academic credits may be used to help meet the requirements of another program or academic pathway.

This process can be especially valuable for students with diverse educational backgrounds, including those moving between institutions, changing learning modes, or continuing from earlier certification and academic studies.

Why It Matters

  • Helps students avoid repeating eligible learning
  • Supports continuity across different study routes
  • Can help students move forward more efficiently
Transfer Pathways

Credit Transfer Options

Brookstone’s transfer guidance supports several practical pathways for students continuing their education.

Certification Credits to Degree Credits

Credits earned through certification studies may be considered toward eligible degree pathways where alignment and academic requirements are met.

Distance Credits to On-Campus Credits

Students who begin through distance learning may be able to transfer eligible credits and continue their studies in an on-campus pathway.

Part-Time to Full-Time Transfer

Students moving from part-time to full-time study may be able to carry forward eligible credits and continue with a more accelerated academic pathway.

Transfer Process

How the Credit Transfer Process Works

Students interested in transfer begin by contacting their academic advisor or the registrar’s office to discuss whether transfer is possible for their specific pathway.

Brookstone then evaluates previously completed coursework and credits to determine which credits are eligible for transfer. In general, courses that align with the intended curriculum and meet academic requirements are the most likely to be accepted.

Once accepted, eligible credits are added to the student’s academic record and may contribute toward degree completion or a new academic status.
