Transferability of credits earned

The transferability of credits you earn at Hayward University is at the complete discretion of an institution to which you may seek to transfer. Acceptance of the degree you earn in Business Administration is also at the complete discretion of the institution to which you may seek to transfer. If the credits and/or degree that you earn at Hayward University are not accepted at the institution to which you seek to transfer, you may be required to repeat some or all of your coursework at that institution. For this reason you should make certain that your attendance at Hayward University will meet your educational goals. This may include contacting an institution to which you may seek to transfer after attending Hayward University to determine if your credits and/or degree will transfer. If you require an official transcript in order to transfer from Hayward University to another institution before you have graduated from Hayward University, the cost of an official transcript is $100. Additionally, any enrolled Hayward University student that took (or is currently taking) classes at a different academic institution is able to apply for a credit transfer. Hayward University has not entered into a transfer agreement with any other college or university.

External Transfer Credits (from other institutions)

Hayward University ensures that each and every credit transferred to its courses and programs is individually assessed. During the evaluation process, every course credit is considered individually using all the information available to Hayward University. This includes a course description, test results (if any), and any additional information given during the application process. Applicants who submit a complete transfer credit request within seven days of receiving a qualifying email from the Office of Admissions may be able to complete the Transfer Credit. Hayward University may award up to 18 transfer credits toward the completion of a MBA program.

Applicants who fail to pay the Evaluation Fee and transfer their credits into their Hayward University transcript within the required timeframe will be assumed to have declined the offer of transfer credit and their transfer credit application will be closed.

Hayward University accepts credit transfers, according to its policy, which can be found on the Hayward University website.
