Transfer Students and Credits
Full-time online students who have transferred to GCPA from another school must complete a minimum of 6 credits (one full year of study) with GCPA to be eligible for a U.S. diploma from our institution.
GCPA considers accepting transfer credits on an individual basis. These credits must have been earned through a public school or accredited private institution, and an official transcript will be required for consideration.* International records may also require translation and evaluation prior to consideration.
