Credits Banked Transfer to Another College?

[davewill]

Hello,

Does anyone know if credit banked credits (from TESU, Excelsior, etc.) will transfer to another university?

For example: Finish an ASBA at TESU, transfer and graduate from Liberty Business Administration & Data Analysis Bachelors, use banked TESU credits to satisfy prerequisites for Liberty MBA

For transfer the answer is, "no". Liberty will want to see every transfer credit on it's original transcript. A lot of the reason for that is because schools stick together, and the most common reason for not being able to provide an original transcript is because you owe money at the previous school, so other schools generally refuse to accept anything but an original transcript. In fact, they often won't accept you at all unless you produce every prior transcript, whether they hold usable credit or degrees or not.

So, in general, credit banking is only useful for employment or certification type purposes.

However, That's not what you really asked. You're asking if prerequisites can be credit banked, and there answer is, "maybe". In general, they are going to want to see prerequisites on their original transcripts, too. However, if you have ACE credit on your TESU transcript, it's not impossible that they would accept that for a prerequisite. Unlikely, but not impossible.

What a lot of people fail to realize is that graduate admissions departments are a lot different from undergrad ones. Trying to get information from an undergrad admissions advisor can be like pulling teeth, sometimes. However, grad programs are usually much more cooperative. They are often looking for students to admit rather than trying to gatekeep. So you can probably ask this question to advisors at Liberty and get a straight answer.

You should be specific when you ask, I.e. "I took XYZ course from Study.com and it's on my TESU transcript for college credit. Will that satisfy the prerequisite for XYZ?"
