You Belong Here

Our Transfer Credit Equivalency Self-Service Tool allows you to see which courses you’ve taken at another school that will transfer to ACU. Using your transcripts, you can enter information from multiple schools and courses to estimate your transfer equivalency credits.

**The results from this tool are not confirmed nor verified to apply to degree requirements.**

Course transfers are contingent on different degree plans and specific to certain departmental requirements and accreditations. You need to contact your admissions counselor or academic advisor for more information about how your transfer courses will apply toward a degree plan. Find your degree plan in the ACU Catalog.

Funding Your Future

ACU extends generous scholarship and grant packages to offer an affordable education to our students. Many awards are merit based, but we also consider financial need, community involvement and student leadership.

Making ACU Her Own

ACU was always on Cameryn’s college radar, but when it came time to choose, she joined her best friend at another university. After one semester, Cameryn began the transfer to ACU. 

“I knew ACU was the right fit. My scholarships were still available, my classes were easy to transfer and the professors were so set on my success coming in. I had a friend group within a few weeks of being here, and I’m still getting plugged in.”
