General Transfer Policy
The Registrar's Office conducts initial evaluations of incoming students' academic records, to ensure all required academic documentation is on file and to apply transfer credit to Bellevue University degree programs in accordance with established policies. Complete reevaluations of these records are conducted only when students change degree programs, majors, and/or when they change university catalogs.

A final audit of students' academic records is conducted by the Registrar's Office in conjunction with students' application for graduation. The Registrar's Audit Section ensures all required academic documentation is on file, and all degree requirements are completed prior to issuing a Bellevue University diploma.

Agreements with Community Colleges

These agreements allow students graduating with transfer courses or degrees in technical, career, or liberal arts fields to transfer directly to Bellevue University to complete a baccalaureate degree program.
