Course Transfer Credits
EC-Council University accepts college-level courses for consideration of transfer from accredited U.S. or foreign equivalent institutions on a case-by-case basis. Computer technology courses (including academic cybersecurity credits) must have been earned within the last ten years for consideration. Credits must be from institutions accredited by an agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education and/or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), or an accepted foreign equivalent that is listed in the International Handbook of Universities. The classes must closely correspond with EC-Council University courses and the student must have earned a grade of “B” or higher for the Master’s and Graduate Certificate Programs. All course transfer credits for the Bachelor’s program must be a “C” or better.
To begin the process, submit an official transcript or NACES/NAFSA evaluation. ECCU will evaluate all transcripts for potential transfer credit. The transfer credit must come from classes equivalent to the same level of education and learning outcomes as the degree coursework. Students may receive a maximum of 18 graduate credit hours of transfer credit in the graduate program and 30 credits of transfer credit in addition to the required 60 credits for admission for a total of 90 transfer credit hours in the undergraduate program.
Transfer credits are not considered in the calculation of the student’s ECCU cumulative GPA. Transfer credits accepted will count for both attempted and completed credits for the Satisfactory Academic Progress calculation of pace of completion (Percentage of Credit Completion – PCC). All transfer credits must map to ECCU program course requirements to be utilized as transfer credit. General education course requirements are 25% of the total transfer credit and the total of the undergraduate program requirements. Minimum Math and English requirements are considered a part of the General Education requirement for undergraduate students. EC-Council University may also accept transfer credits from military and other non-traditional sources such as credits recommended by American Council on Education (ACE) or National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS); other sources may be considered. All non-traditional credits will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
