Transfer Student Policy and Credit Evaluation
Anoint the World University welcomes transfer students. The following credit transfer limits apply:
- Up to 90 credit hours may be transferred toward a Bachelor’s degree
- Up to 15 credit hours may be transferred toward a Master’s degree
- Up to 6 credit hours may be transferred toward a Doctoral degree
Credits may be accepted from accredited institutions and may evaluate coursework on a case-by-case basis from non-traditional educational experiences (i.e., life learning credits).
Students who wish to transfer to Anoint the World University must complete the following steps to ensure a seamless transition.
Step 1: Complete the Online Transfer Application
Visit the Anoint the World University website and complete the Transfer Student Application form. Be sure to select the option indicating your status as a transfer applicant.
Step 2: Submit Official Academic Transcripts
Arrange for all official transcripts from previously attended colleges or universities to be sent directly to Anoint the World University. Acceptable submission methods include:
- Secure electronic transcript services (if offered by the institution)
- Official hard copies mailed in sealed, unopened envelopes
Please note: Only transcripts received directly from the issuing institutions will be reviewed for transfer credit eligibility. Unofficial or student-handled transcripts will not be considered.

- Up to 6 credits toward a doctoral program
Transferable undergraduate courses must carry a minimum grade of C, while graduate-level courses must be B or higher.
Non-traditional learning experiences—such as AP exams, CLEP tests, and documented life learning—may be reviewed individually.
Step 4: Provide Additional Documents (if applicable)
Certain programs may require supporting documentation, including:
- A Personal Faith Statement describing your spiritual journey and commitment to Christ
