Credit may be granted only for courses in which grades of “C” or better have been earned (2.00 GPA or higher).

Previous Education or Training
A Veterans Administration benefit recipient is responsible to report all education and training. The University evaluates and grants credit, if appropriate, with the training time shortened, the tuition reduced proportionately, and the VA and student notified.
Transfer of Credits from AU
Students who are interested in continuing their education at an institution other than Atlantis University should first make inquiry at the institution they plan to attend to determine credits and requirements needed for entrance to that institution. Transferability of credits is at the discretion of a receiving institution. Atlantis University cannot assure transfer of credit; however, Atlantis University is a nationally accredited institution, participates in the Statewide Course Numbering System, and has entered into articulation agreements with some local colleges and universities. Students should contact the Director of Academic Affairs for specific information.
- A written notice must be provided to Atlantis University requesting transfer.
- Written confirmation must be received from the receiving school indicating acceptance.
- A $1,000.00 non-refundable I-20 transfer fee must be paid to Atlantis University if the student requests to transfer out prior to starting classes or during the first semester. This fee must be paid prior to the I-20 transfer; otherwise, the I-20 will be canceled.
- Students must obtain administrative clearance and have no outstanding balances with the University.
