The Office of the Registrar in St. Louis conducts the transfer-of-credit-hour evaluation. Once all of your documents have been provided to us here in Vienna (full acceptance), we will send them to St. Louis for evaluation. For this to happen, you need to be a fully accepted student (not a provisionally accepted student who is still missing some documents). This process can take several weeks, so please make sure you send all outstanding documents in as soon as possible.

Transfer Credit Grading Policy

Transfer credit normally includes:

1. College/University - level work completed at accredited educational institutions. Please make sure that your college or university is accredited by the Ministry of your country for that purpose. The University accepts transfer credit college-level work satisfactorily completed with a grade of C or better. Courses completed with a grade of D have severe transfer restrictions and generally are not applicable toward graduation requirements at Webster. As a general rule of thumb,  European ECTS credits might transfer in on a rate of  2:1 eg  6 European ECTS credits = 3 American credit hours. The exact transfer depends on the course work, the hours of the specific class, content and also the grades received for the course.

A max of 98 transfer credits can be accepted from another accredited university. Please be aware that a Bachelor degree requires at least 128 credits. In case of a high number of transfer credits, a student may accumulate more than 128 credits since not all transfer credits apply to the course requirements needed for the different majors. Therefor the calculation of 128 credits – Transfer credits accepted DOES NOT equal the outstanding amount of credits still need to be completed at Webster University. An Academic Advisor can give you a better approximation once the Admissions department receives all academic transcripts from the students side.

2. Standardized tests conducted external to Webster. These include ACT-PEP; Excelsior College Examinations; CLEP; DANTES; GED College Level; and USAFI. Because this credit is normally designated lower division, no more than 64 credit hours are transferable. Academic departments approve area exams, establish possible course equivalencies, determine acceptable test scores, and determine the amount and level of credit.

3. Extra-institutional credit. The University awards transfer credit for selected military and corporate training programs that have been reviewed by the American Council on Education (ACE). For information, see this section below.

4. Associate's degrees. The University always attempts to provide full transfer of successfully completed associate's degrees from regionally accredited institutions. When part of a completed associate's degree, transfer credit may include pass/fail courses, advanced placement, credit by examination, dual credit, and experiential learning credits. The integrity of the associate's degree will not be invalidated by these components, and transfer credit will be provided according to existing academic policies.

5. Advanced Standing Credits.

Enrolled freshmen who have taken advanced placement (AP), accelerated, or honors courses may qualify for college-level credit from the University. Students who wish such work to be considered for first year (freshman) lower-division transfer credit should submit official documentation for evaluation, including test scores and/or college transcripts.

Final credit is determined according to departmental guidelines for credit by exam.

Webster University grants credit in the appropriate academic department for scores of 3 or above on the advanced placement tests (AP exams) from the College Board. Exams are available in the following subject areas: art, biology, calculus, chemistry, computer science, economics, English literature and composition, French, German, government and politics, history, Latin, music, physics, and Spanish.
