TRANSFER CREDIT EQUIVALENCIES

Determining how your credit will transfer to Golden Gate is easy!

First - view your degree progam to see what's needed
Then - see how courses from other schools match. You can do this in two ways:

• Articulate GGU Courses
• Articulate Other Institutions' Courses

The courses listed have been entered as transfer equivalents in GGU's degree audit database.

If you have questions about course equivalencies, contact ythompson@ggu.edu

Some basic guidelines for transfer credit:

• A maximum of 70 semester units may be transferred from two-year schools.
• Candidates for bachelor's degrees must complete at least 30 units at GGU, including 21 units of upper division Required for the Major or Business Core courses.
• Only courses with grades of C- or better will transfer for undergraduate programs. Graduate students must earn a grade of B- or better in courses to be transferred as foundation courses.
• Courses not specifically articulated may transfer as elective credit.
• Additional courses may fulfill the Liberal Studies Core requirement based on content and units earned.
